shotgun press?

[jfowl31]

What's a decent price for a Mec Grabber 761R?

I've been debating whether or not to start loading shotgun shells, and just found what sounds like a decent deal on a press...

Or, can anyone recommend some good deals on getting started up with shotguns?

I currently reload for various common rifle round like 308, 22-250, 223, and a few pistol loads too... So I'm not necessarily new to the reloading world, but I dont know jack about shotgun loading... any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi jfowl31,, i don't know which model you are looking at but i have had a mec 650 for about 30 years and i don't know how many thousand shot shells i have loaded on this thing,, it was rebuilt by mec once at the grand american trap shoot at their booth.... the grabber model is nice because it sizes the case every time,, but i haven't noticed a problem not doing that ,, the 650 sizes in a different operation... so for the times that i needed to size i bought a super sizer from mec ,, i think the grabber has one of these built in...for me i like the fact that i have to index the table by hand,,that's why i like the Dillon 550 over the 650,,, that's a different animal .... i will suggest that unless this loader comes with this,, the one accessory that you need is the multiscale charge bar,, this makes changing loads a piece of cake... it is worth the money,,,i kinda like the big wooden handle that they offer too,,,, other than that i don't think you can go wrong with mec....shot guns are a lot of fun...be careful tho,,they are addicting:2pistol: just my .02 YMMV
