The Remington hulls are constructed like the old original AA 12 gauge hulls. I would suggest that you try reloading some Remington STS hulls and see how your MEC tool works with those hulls. You might be pleasantly surprised !!! I would still resize and decap the Remington hulls on a MEC Case Conditioner before reloading them on a progressive reloading tool. Good Shooting To You, Jent

HI Jent,
I don't own a MEC but I had the worst time with the HS shells in my PW. Primer problems, crimping problems, cocked wads. I thought for sure My loader had turned to junk. Then I went to the STS's and I'm OK. I load 28 only, but it seems that the new HS hulls are alot harder to reload.
