A single stage MEC with the ring resizer will usually do the job of resizing 10 ga hulls without issue. It is easier to resize Federal hulls as they are made of brass whereas others are made of steel. I have a Lefever G grade 10 which is a great gun but it has tighter chambers than my other 10's and would be hard or impossible to close with some reloads. I bought a 10ga collet for my MEC Supersizer and that solved the problem with that gun.

Keep in mind the resizing ring on a MEC single stage is a wear item and every now and then it will need to be replaced. If you bought a used reloader you might want to change it.
