I'm new to loading 12g. This video really helped me thank you so much question I seem to get powder that falls out of charge bar as I'm switching it and gets all over bench not a lot but like a sprinkle. Is that normal or is there a seal I can replace and any idea how to change it I got mec jr 600. From 1982 I believe
There is a grommet and brass bushing that go on the powder side of the reloader where you screw the bottle in. Both are available from Mec or other reloading shops. Install the brass spring bushing and the grommet on top. This should help stop this issue.....
@@OldMontanaWisdom1 thank you
@oldmontanawisdom1 This is a great video I am new to reloading shells and I am reloading for clays. How do I know what wad I need. Is there a universal wad that works on federal Fiocchi Winchester I just see all kind of different info on it. And from this video your probably the only person that I feel like knows what there doing.
If you are loading for clays you probably want a 1 or 1 1/8 oz load. The wad you use strictly depends on how much shot you are putting in the shell and what hull you are using. Some hulls are shallow and some deeper. You can use filler wads on the deeper hulls but I wouldn't go there as a new reloader. There is a little bit of cross over on wads and hulls but not much. You have to look at a reloading book like Lyman Shotshell. I would not use Fiocchi hulls because they have a slightly different primer pocket size and primers for their hulls are not readily available. Federal hulls are OK but you almost have to use a Federal type wad. I use Winchester AA or Remington STS because you tend to get more reloads out of the hulls. I tend to use my Lyman Shotshell books a lot because I am loading for a lot of different applications and tend to use a lot of different wads. Find yourself a hull you like, a wad that matches and a powder you like and can readily get like Red Dot, Clays etc and stick with it.....
What about resizing?
Most Mec reloaders resize the brass hull and punch out the primer on the first station. It is adjustable too depending on the height of the brass on the hull. The only one I have used that does not is the 650 Grabber. If you are using on of these Mec sell a single hull resizer....
How to buy it?
I’m sorry, but I don’t understand your question? To buy what?
Do you resize the heads?
I would go to Ballistic Products or Precision Reloading or maybe Midsouth Shooters Supply.
