Bill, Daryl, Frank, Randy, and others; I had to call MEC this morning to order a part and asked the gent I was speaking with if the press could be made to load 2 1/2", and he was pretty emphatic that the design wouldn't permit it. To an engineer, even a retired one, that sounded like a challenge. I've been staring at the press, run a few hulls through (and obviously spoiled them in the 'learning' process) and believe I have an idea which will require minimal work, without changing any of the press mechanics; merely substituting one 'modified' part.
I'll run it by the guy I spoke with, maybe on a Friday, knowing lots of people don't like thinking on a Monday.
Bill, I agree, in an 0 framed gun, digesting an extra 1/4" probably isn't an issue. That said, I have 1200-1500 short hulls and NPEs, and wads, and didn't really want to pack them away in the land of abandoned components.
