The last I knew, RST was using Cheddite hulls, which are different from RIO hulls.

I have a 600JR set up for 2 7/8" 10 gauge and it works fine !

I am in the process however of setting up some older style 600JR's for 12 , 16 and 20 . Since I shoot both 2 /34" and 2 1/2" in all three gauges I wanted something "quicker" then the normal MEC short kits .

Seems Precision Reloading makes a brass spacer you can use in single stage MEC loaders for about $13 . However they only make them for the 12 and 20 . So my plan is to order one of each and then have a machinist friend to make me another out of brass , aluminum or steel for the 16 gauge !

This brass spacer thing seems far better suited (to me atleast) for someone like myself that loads both gauges and doesn't care to be constantly changing tooling etc .
