I assume you considering loading for 12 ga. Bear in mind that if you plan on loading for different guns, you may need to resize the hulls. Chamber size varies from gun to gun and the head of the hull will conform to the chamber making it unlikely to fit hulls in all guns you have. While a Mec Jr. is relatively inexpensive, a better press would be the Ponsness-Warren 375. I roll crimp specialty loads for turkeys in 3 gauges and in 12 ga. for 2" hulls. I trim long hulls, paper and plastic, with a specially made jig that fits in a Harbor-Freight Mini-chop saw. I use vintage manual roll crimpers to make the above loads. If I had to reload 2000 rounds a year, I'd go with the PW. If you stick with reloading, what you start out with is not what you'll end up using eventually. Gil
