MEC 600 Jr Mark 5 28 Gauge Single-Stage Shotshell Reloader - Steel

The MEC 600 Jr Mark 5 is a single-stage shotshell reloader purpose-built for the 28 gauge shooter, produced by MEC Outdoors, a longtime American maker of shotshell reloading equipment. Built around a rugged steel frame, this press delivers quick, simple operation with minimum effort, making it a solid choice for small-volume reloaders, hunters, and anyone getting into shotshell reloading for the first time. It is also expandable: if you later decide you do not want to handle every primer individually, the press can be upgraded with a primer feed accessory.

At the heart of the Mark 5 is MEC's signature cam-action crimp die, which ensures each finished shell receives a consistent, dependable crimp every time the handle is pulled. The press is adjustable to handle 3" shells, giving 28 gauge hunters and clay shooters the flexibility to run standard 2-3/4" hulls as well as the longer 3" magnum shells. Throughput is rated at roughly 4 to 6 boxes per hour, typical of a quality single-stage press.

A multi-size bushing system lets you swap charge weights on the fly, and this kit ships with three powder bushings (sizes 14, 16, and 21) along with one charge bar so you can start resizing, charging, seating, and crimping right out of the box. As a made in the USA reloading tool with decades of proven design behind it, the 600 Jr Mark 5 remains one of the most popular single-stage shotshell reloaders on the market.
