[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2354995, member: 42157"] If you want a progressive I have no clue. Only ones I ever saw in use were Mec's. I have my first 20ga Mec Jr. from 40 years ago along with a 12ga. Use them every year and the only parts I have ever changed are the plastic wad guides. I also replaced the bushings with Universal Charge bars. I just de-prime, prime, load a bucket at a time. Goes pretty fast and I have far less mistakes and can monitor each step better. The hardest part for me is getting good hard lead shot. I just fired mine up yesterday to fill up my stack of #8's as I am down to a few boxes. No I don't fess up to my buddies I'm shooting 610gr (12ga in AA hull with RP12 wad) or a curly one under 1.5 ounces at 1300fps (chrono graphed) they think I am just a better shot. I shoot one to two restrictions looser than they do and knock em down just as far away. Yep, I get some sick enjoyment out of boxing up another stack of two ton Tessy's just waiting for quail and doves and them thinking they are 1 1/8oz. Oh, yeah they will pound you in a 6lb O/U. They slap you a quick reminder when you pull the trigger before its pulled in snug. [/QUOTE]
