Lee Load All 2 vs MEC 600

The Load all makes nice shells if you get the recipe to fit just right.

The Mec has much more adjustment to compensate for less than perfect fitting loads.

Personally, I gave my load all away to another CG'er. My volume stuff is on Mec progressives and specialty loads on a PW 375.

If you want to step up in the single stage department, I would suggest a Mec Sizemaster.

I have a Lee Load All and a MEC Steelmaster (like the Sizemaster). I think the LLA is good for small lots like buckshot, slugs, and specialty hunting rounds, but if you are doing a large number of clay loads, you are better off buying something else.

If the Lee is doing a good job, don't get the MEC 600. Both use a ring to size the base. If you want to move up, get either a Sizemaster or Steelmaster, or go full semi-auto progressive. The *master series and higher presses use a collet to resize the base of the hull, not a ring.

Its like comparing a Yugo to a Cadillac... they will both get you to the store, but the mec has more options and is a better overall press.
