10 Gauge Reloader

[Paul Harm]

As most have said a Mec is the way to go. A 600jr is nice, or a Sizemaster, which is also a single stage press, but a bit more expensive. It's a newer model that resizes differently. The 600 has a ring, the Sizemaster uses fingers and a collet. Either one will get the job done, some just like one over the other. Be careful on the auction web sites, sometimes a item gets bid up to almost retail prices. A 600 goes for $190, Sizemaster for $280 on Mecs web site. I have the old Lee in 10ga, but the tube that holds the shell is made for a 3 1/2' shell and would have to be cut down for the 2 7/8" shell [which I did]. As for the short kit, all you need is something, wood or metal, that will take up space under the crimp stations. You may have trouble finding the 10ga reloaders as they're not very common. Good luck - Paul

That makes sense, so if you roll crimp - the standard press is fine?
