PS. Welcome to the club Larry, we have all been there, just not as soon as you got there. Reloading is the way to go for vintage guns allowing for control of pressure, shot weight and recoil.

PPS. A MEC 650 is a progressive reloader and if you have a problem you really have to stop and think about where each shell is in the process. It's easier to learn on a single stage loader. Also the 650 does not resize the brass so you may encounter hulls you have picked up not fitting or sticking in the chambers of your gun. You will need to get a MEC Super Sizer or Shell Conditioner to perform that function.
You're dog and my dog must be related! Everytime I start with the salty talk, she flies out of the room! I think those ears of her must really be wings!

That reminds me when somebody new to reloading asked me how to not spill any shot. My reply "don't reload"
