Better start stocking up on shot too. The ChiComs are shutting down our supply of antimony and we will see the price of shot and factory ammo increase. A 20% increase in price will not be unheard of.

That's just awesome Mike. Thanks for the heads up.

Awesome isn't exactly the word I'd use. Fortunately I have easily over 30 bags of shot. I'm good to go.

Well I used the statement "That's just awesome" in a tongue in cheek type of way meaning "WTF is wrong with this world..."

30 bags?? You're slacking fella, I have more than that in 8 shot alone : )

How are you loading 2.5" shells? Are you doing them on a press set up for 2.75" and placing something under the shell on the crimping stages?

That's 12,000 one ounce loads, How long will the 30 bags last you? When I was shooting ATA trap I knew people who shot that many or more in one years time between singles, handicap and doubles.

Mec short kit. My old Pacific 366 requires just adjustments. Load's are for my H.H.Hussey.

Well, I might shoot once a week for about 8-9 months per year. When I go to the Southern I'll shoot over 1000 targets. At Ernie's I might shoot 500-700. I have over 50 cases of reloads and probably about that many in factory shells. Most of the shells I use are 7/8 oz 12g, 7/8 oz 16g and 7/8 oz 20g.

MEC makes a short kit for their 600, JR press. Works slick. Put it under the shell holder for the two crimp stations for 2 1/2" shells, remove it for 2 3/4" shells. EZ PZ.
