I load everything from 10 to .410 and still love reloading. The ability to customize loads to suit my needs is great but I love the entire process. Researching the loads, seeing what components I have on hand and then reconsidering my loads or getting on line and buying more stuff to reload with. Then getting the load adjusted just right, to produce the best looking shell I can get. Even boxing up shells is like therapy to me as I go over my check list of things needed to be done to shoot one last time in my mind.
It has been a long time since I had to rely on MEC 600JR. but I still have a couple on hand in case of power failures. These days everything is progressive MECs with all but my 10 being hydraulic 9000HN machines. They are not the fastest perhaps but they are the least tiring way to load. Load 400-500 per hours as long as I want without even breaking out a sweat. That was a dream 40 plus years ago when I first started reloading.
