You can just star crimp the 10 just like a 12 or any other gauge. I personally would not roll crimp plastic hulls - IMHO it's a PITA. Now paper hulls look right with a roll crimp. Precision Reloading or Ballistic Products both sell Remington or Federal Plastic 10 ga hulls, Remington 10ga wads, fiber filler wads, and if you want, the roll crimper. Most guys use a Mec press so if help is needed there's plenty of people to do just that. I don't use a short kit for the 2 7/8" shells, just for my 2 5/8" shells. There are two holes in the main bar and frame of a Mec 600jr, so there is plenty of adjustment for the 2 7/8" shell. They come set up for a 3 1/2" shell. Rich had Mec make him a 650 2 1/2" press. If they'd do that, maybe you could call them and have a 600 set up for the 2 7/8" 10ga. It might cost a little more but if you haven't reloaded before it would take some of the worry out of it. The 600 is a simple press to use and so is a Sizemaster. Both are singe stage presses. I would go to the Mec web site
www.mecreloaders.com and then call them at 1-800-797-4632 and talk it over with them. Good luck - Paul
