EXCELLENT video. Thank you for showing me how easy it is to reload with the MEC 600 JR Mark V. 12 gauge is plentiful to find, but feeding my several .410 bore tools is challenging. I just wish MEC would sell the .410 reloader with apparatus to reload 3” AND 2.5” shotshells. An additional $199.99 seems like a whole lot to require for the ability to shoot both versions of the same bore, particularly when no additional fee is required for 12 gauge 2.75” and 3”. Grace and Peace

My dad bought he’s Mec jr when he was 14 years old ,he’s now 70 years old. I grew up using this press and stile continue to use it to this day and now my son is using it with me the old girl stile makes a great reload , I need to freshen it up a little and get some different size powder bushings . One of the best presses ever for a working man

I'm about 3 weeks into the learning curve on my Mec 600 Jr, Mk 5 in 410 bore. The machine is very well built, easy to understand and easy to use. I've made about 200 rounds so far with no hitches whatsoever. All I needed to add were reloading supplies and a good reloading book. And for sure, there a significant cost savings when reloading 410 bore.

I have had and used 3 of these machines for many, many years now, and never unhappy with the wonderful, factory like results. This machine may take a bit of getting used to for the crimp settings, but due to it being almost, "too simple". My crimps, both 6 & 8 look as good or better than the factory rounds on all of my 2 3/4" & 3" loads. The other wonderful function of this simple, inexpensive unit is that of being able to "feel" your shot load and wand compress. I also load my Lee cast 1 oz. slugs in this machine with the greatest of ease, using multiple brands of 12 gauge hulls. I can't imagine any shotgun shooter without a MEC 600 Jr .

I have had a 600 Mark V for a number of years. I also have a PW machine as well. I recently added a new gage to the 600 (16 gage). The final crimp on station V rod stem threads on the machine were inoperative as I could not thread the stem so as to attach the final crimp cylinder on to the bracket. Luckily I had a 5/16 x24 tap to rerun the threads. Worked great after that. The MEC machine is a lot easier to unload the components (shot, powder) . Tilt it back put the caps on the bottles and store them away. The MEC does make a better crimp than the PW.

[@MECOutdoors]

Thank you for taking the time to comment. The threads in the turret head may have been a little rough for the crimp punch. It was a good idea to tap the hole for the new punch. You can email and call us directly if you have any further comments or questions. 800-797-4632 or [e-mail] .

I have 5 of these and they are awesome machines! Behind every great progressive loader is a mec junior to fix the screw up! Great product at a great price and even better customer service!

Hi 410 Shooter, Thanks for your awesome comments and for being a MEC customer!

[@kenbaugess2777]

Just got one I think it's a great machine

[@TeamTnA44]

Just received a 600 Jr. Looks like from the 70's ? Any way to tell the age? Also looks like the original had it set up for 20ga. And way to set it up for 2 3/4 " shot and slugs? Thanks in advance for your time

[@hiltonmcconnell2563]

MEC 600 JR Mark V Reloader. 410 3" Can you set it up for 2.5" as the shot gun I am looking as only takes 2.5" shells

[@junmadrid2010]

Do you have a video on how to install the mec shortkit to use both 3 and 2-3/4 shells ?

[@MECOutdoors]

Hi Jun, No I'm sorry we do not have a video on this. However instructions should be on the packaging and if you have any questions or need further help on this, please email or call us at: [e-mail] or 1-800-797-4632

[@otherphones9619]

How much shot does the bar measure? Around 1&1/8oz? How much powder? Thanks

[@dannywoodard9822]

Can you please explain the pro check. I have used the older models of 600 jr. that does not have the pro check.

[@wolfgangkohler2508]

Would this unit have an adapter available to do 2.5" shells ?

[@joyceknepper366]

I can’t make up my mind between the 600 Jr Mk V and the Sizemaster. Your thoughts please. Cheers!

[@garynilson8649]

I need a deprimer assy./ attachment for the MEC 600 “Jr.. Where do I order that?

[@joshuasmonk]

my 28 gauge reloader is not resizing the brass properly and we're having jamming issues

[@MECOutdoors]

Thank you for commenting. The resize ring on the 600 JR Mark V may be worn out and may need to be replaced. This is a part #8465 and can be ordered through MEC if needed. Visit www.mecoutdoors.com or call us at 1-800-797-4632 to order or you can email for further questions: [e-mail]

[@nathanielrobertson689]

Can you purchase load multiple gauges with one loader, or do you have to buy a separate loader for each gauge?

[@MECOutdoors]

Hi Nathaniel, Thanks for commenting. The single stage reloaders such as the Mark V and the Sizemaster models can be converted to different gauges with an additional die set. The progressive reloaders are available in all gauges although they can not be converted to a different gauge. If you have any further questions, please call us at 1-800-797-4632 or email [e-mail].

[@allengrantham6693]

CAn the MEC 600 Jr be configured to load steel shot? I know you would have to replace the shot measure bar.

[@manuelceru411]

Como puedo conseguir una máquina de ese tipo aquí en España? Y que este omologada

[@thomashale4968]

do you have something that shows what collar to put in for 2 3/4 or 3 inch powder charge? I have a 12 gauge press, im looking to get a 20 gauge press. I'd like to load both 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells

[@MECOutdoors]

Hi Thomas, The MEC powder bushing chart will show all the powders and the amount they will drop in grains. This chart is only an average received on a single stage reloader so it needs to be verified with a grain scale before using. The MEC powder bushing chart can be seen and printed off from the MEC Outdoors website (link below) The amount of powder to use will need to be obtained in the powder manual. If you have any further questions, please email us at: [e-mail] www.mecoutdoors.com/Content/Images/uploaded/pdfs/PowderBushingChart.pdf

[@JR-kc8jx]

Is it possible to load 1 3/4 ounce of #2 lead in 12 gauge with this reloader?

[@MECOutdoors]

Hi J R, We do manufacture a charge bar for 1 ¾ oz. of lead shot #302134. This can be used on the 600 JR Mark V although the loads I saw in the powder manual were for a 3” shell. The Mark V will come with the parts needed to convert the press to 3” if needed. If you have any further questions, please email us at [e-mail] or call 1-800-797-4632

[@JR-kc8jx]

[@toddcarpenter714]

I have a 600 Jr. What's the difference between the 600 Jr and the 600 Jr MK V? Can my 600 Jr be converted to a MK V? What would be required? I just retired and I'm wanting to get back into shooting clay birds. Any Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[@MECOutdoors]

Hi Todd, The 600 jr was manufactured between 1968-1982. In 1982 it received modifications to the crimp dies and wad guide and was renamed the 600 JR 82. In 1985 this model was once again updated to the Mark V. The Mark V contained all zytel crimp dies and a U shaped eject bolt which now worked with high or low brass shells and could easily be converted to 3” shells if needed along with a couple extra parts in the parts bag. The 600 JR can be converted to the Mark V by replacing the old steel dies with the current zytel dies and then also changing over the deprime station to the current U shaped eject bolt. If you have any further questions, please call us at 1-800-797-4632 or email us directly at [e-mail]. Thank you

[@toddcarpenter714]

Thank you for your time.

[@anthonycummings6000]

Is there a video on adjusting 12 2 3/4 to 3" do i need a diffrent support tube on the decaper? Its a brand new 600 jr

[@MECOutdoors]

Hi Anthony, The conversion for 3” are different depending on the model reloader you have as they are different for the 600 JR and the 600 JR Mark V models. The 600 JR will require the conversion kit #63 to convert to 3”. This kit comes with a longer support tube and instructions on the adjustments needed. The 600 JR Mark V model comes with the extra 3” spacer needed and does not need a longer support tube. The instructions for the Mark V 3” conversion will be in one of the back pages of the manual. If you have any further questions, please email us directly at [e-mail] or call 1-800-797-4632 we are available Mon-Fri 8-4pm central time.

@@MECOutdoors what is needed to load Lyman slugs on the Mark v

[@MECOutdoors]

@@jimgilmore893 thanks for commenting! The reloading of slugs can be partially accomplished by using a MEC Mark V reloading press. The formulas for reloading slugs must be followed exactly as the manufacture indicates. The shell can be ran through the depriming, repriming, powder and wad insertion stages. The shell would then need to be removed for the installation of the slug or buckshot. The crimp can be either roll crimped ,with an after market roll crimper or a star crimp can be placed back onto the shell depending on the manufactures instructions. A roll crimper can be purchased through a mail order place such as Ballistic Products at 1-888-273-5623 or www.ballisticproducts.com.

First time trying this. System is from the wife's uncle who passed away. I didn't change anything he had set up but it is not crimping properly. pushing top down too far and the shot actually falls out. What am I doing wrong?

This was really a waste . Was it a 12 gauge 10 gauge 20 gauge what were you loading . More important you did not even show how to set it up . Thumbs down 👎. At least you know why you got the thumbs down 👎 .
