I was looking at a MEC 650 on ebay but lost out due to my friends slow internet connection. I am now on the hunt again. My only concern with the 650 is the need for the super sizer. Not a cheap addition to the press.

You don't NEED a super sizer, to be honest. Yes its helpful, but it isn't necessary, and none of the people that I know that use a 650 use them

Ya that's the thing, I love my 9000 but is it really worth it to someone who is just hopping into the shotshell reloading scene?



I'm setting up a group buy right now for 10 tons of shot lol, with the option for another 15 tons. Its better to buy lead in bulk, trust me

I would be interested. Any idea on cost?

X3. I could use 100 to 500 #

You CAN get by without a sizer, but that will work if you are only shooting your own empties from your shotgun. If you pick up others empties, sometimes the chambers are a little over sized and they may not chamber in your shotgun causing loading issues, especially if it's a auto-loader.

It doesn't matter which press you get though as you will still need to size to SAMMI spec....unless you get a press that has a sizer integral to the press, like a Grabber or something like that.
