Bruce your problem with reloaded shells sticking is because the MEC 650 does not have a resizing collet. Your reloads were/are not resized using a 650, you have to have a stand alone MEC Super Sizer, or older MEC case conditioner or resize them on separate 600JR or the like first.

Brian here is the link to a video I put up on Youtube regarding the reloading for 2 7/8" 10ga. You can see a homemade shell trimmer in action.

I also want to say running off a bit on any subject can bring up other interesting and sometimes important points of view or information. Nobody is forced to keep reading. I see no harm no foul. Carry on.
