Title: reloading presses
Post by: coyotetrpr on April 17, 2013, 07:57:46 PM
I am very seriously considering re-loading my own turkey shells and would like some opinions about witch re-loader is best with 3.5 inch 12 gage shells.

If you just want to load 3 1/2 turkey loads, you could just get a roll crimper and you wont even need a press.

You WILL need to size the hull base, a MEC 600jr, Sizemaster or Steelmaster would be my recommendations.
I have 4 MEC Steelmasters 10, 12, 16 and a 20 gauge. A MEC Steelmaster is a Sizemaster painted black instead of red.

Good luck,
Newly

I load 12 and 20 without a press . For turkey loads I use new Hulls and roll crimp them.
I have a Lee Load all and a Mec 600 JR but don't use them on my Turkey loads I load them One at a time all by hand .
