Harold I use the MEC600Jr in 28 and it's surely finicky compared to a 12 but no big issues once I get it set up (crimping and so forth). I had to disassemble the unit and file it to make it slide smooth, it was MEC quality control. I wouldn't be afraid of it, but it was not as easy as a 12 to set up. In regards to your question I have NOT had trouble with resizing the 28 and I shot it out of a 28g Parker Repro (sold it at Ernies thank the Lord) and a Benelli Supersport 28g semi auto. The Benelli feeds them like candy to a kid in 2 3/4" They both chambered well and dropped right in out of the MEC600, the Repro is another reason I will never buy another single trigger SxS.

I have had my 28 gauge 600 jr for quite awhile. I’m not a high volume shooter and it works fine. I would definitely recommend one.

Harold, I use a 600jr for 28ga, with a short kit for 2 1/2". My favorite wad has been out of stock forever, so I'm using the SP28-II and had to ream the 3/4oz bar in order to get it to drop a true 3/4oz. I get excellent crimps, but all my hulls (NPE) were trimmed from 2 3/4" hulls so the skiving is gone, and I attribute the good crimps to the thicker wall of the hull. I have a super sizer for 28ga because one of my VH28 gun has a slightly larger chamber, and sizing with the 600jr seems to shave brass on hulls shot thru that gun. My other gun does not have an oversized chamber, but I can't segregate the hulls, so all of them go thru the super sizer.
Want to trade some of that 20/28 for gasoline? |

Well let me be devils advocate ! I’ve not got one MEC 28 progressive but rather THREE ! Don’t need that many just picked them up at really good prices . If all is going smoothly I like the pair of 9000’s more if I’m doing something a little different the Grabber is easier . But this does nothing to help your question as all three have collet sizers .

I use MEC 9000's in 12, 16, 20 and 28. A couple 9000G's and a couple 9000H's. To me, the 9000 platform is just a better mousetrap if you like to shoot clays in any number. I started out 50 years ago with a single stage reloader and just found that the progressives work better for my volume of shooting. Nothing wrong with the single stage setup if you only load a flat a year but I bet you will get hooked on that sweet little 28 Harold and find you reach for it more often than not.

I'm pretty sure they didn't make a BSS in 28ga. If they did I'd have one.

I have 4 old Sizemasters and have no complaints. I have only loaded #8 shot in the 28 and it hasn't been a problem.
