I run seven MEC 600 Jrs and none of them lower the sizing ring all the way down to the rim. Run a few through and see if they chambers in your gun.

I do not get this at all . The only thing the short kit does is bring the crimp end of the shell up higher obviously. But as to the deprime prime stations there’s no need to move anything , the base of the hull is the base of the hull regardless of its 2 7/8” or 3 1/2” . I load both lengths and have a 600 as well as a Sizemaster for the 10 gauge and both do fine on both lengths .

Well my press is definitely different from yours.
