Found this MEC Jr in 28 ga today. Used, price $149.00. Appears to have very little use, super clean. The bottles don't even appear to have any lead or powder residue. I'm thinking I will go back and buy it tomorrow. What do y'all think?

I would. Used a Mec 600 jr for 28g for years. Loaded a lot of AA with that set up. Only thing I ever bought was bars and powder bushings. Never had an issue. Think I bought the one I have in late 80s or maybe early 90s. They are a great single stage reloader. Can’t beat Mec for shotgun shell reloading. Price used I do not have a clue.

Great presses and if you shoot 28ga and have trouble finding good ammo go for it.

Tomorrow it won't be there. At least not if I see it first.

I think you should have bought it when you were there the first time! laugh

Sounds like a deal.

Let me make sure I have this straight, you bought a reloader because it was a good deal but you don't have a 28 gauge shotgun, so now you have to buy a shotgun since you have the reloader? I like the way you roll, that's sounds like something I would do.

To be fair, I bought two flats of Win AA 28 ga shells, a brick of 209 primers and 500 wads before I bought the press. I already had some compatible powder. And yes, I still need to buy a 28 ga. laugh

I bet that hasn’t loaded a box of shells. Nice pick up

To me the Mec 600 Jr was the best single stage press every made. I am sure I have loaded over a ton of shot on them. 12,20, and 410. They are pretty fool proof.
