Default mec press

I just ordered the short kit for my MEC 10 gauge press. Will I be happy with it?
Any suggestions?

Yes, it is simple to install and remove, the kit is a plate that elevates station 3 4 and 5.

Since you will be trimming hulls to 2 7/8", I got the brass Super Crown Crimper from Ballistics Products to put on the crimp starting station on your MEC.

It really helps with unskived hulls for nice tight crimps.

I actually now have a bunch of RST hulls that i paid dearly for fully loaded. i have no regrets though because the RST loads are excellent in my opinion and I have no trouble handing over my money to such a friendly guy as Morris.
Any ideas for duplicating those RST loads?

Default Pictures of the Titanic Big Ten for BFT

I noticed, as I was reading through all of these great posts, that I failed to post pictures of the Titanic 10 that BFT requested. So here are a few shots of the DH 3 frame No 114677, with fluid steel barrels, made in 1902.
