Progressive loaders

Can the 12ga grabber be set up to load 2 1/2" shells.

Paul, it would be hard to explain the advantages of the full length resizing dies without demonstrating them. All I can tell you is that I have loaded probably a quarter of a million shells on my 800B machines with virtually no problems. The wobble of shells in a small bore MEC machine is not a problem in the 800B. Enough said. No wobble, no crushing of hulls, no wad seating problems, no accidental hitting of the crimp area with the crimper as the handle is pulled, you name it. Initial price of the 800B is or was high, but few of us bought them new.

I don't know if a grabber will load 2 1/2 inch. 600 Mec's will. Main column has holes to adjust how high it rides, my 20 Mec 600 does anyway. I may set up a 600 to load 2 1/2 inch Black powder 12s for my Lifter. Seems to me single stage dedicated to special shells, Progressive for volume is the way to go.
