This is a serious tech question. I notice that you have the 600 jr for sale and that you state that it does 70 mm AND that you can do 67mm cases also. I have 3 Mec reloaders and I would like you to advise me how to reload different length cases on the same machine.. Surely it's not just a case of putting in the different cases and loading them up without a conversion kit. The wadding column would have to be adjusted by 3mm and also the position of the case would have to be altered somehow because the crimp position would be 3mm lower than that of the crimp head when fully down resulting in a soft fold rather than complete. If this is possible please advise me because I have a load of 67.5 cases. Ps. I have once or twice had a 67mm case in the mix and they don't crimp any sense. either the crimp isn't right or the case distorts by the case crumpling and twisting. Does this reloader come with a conversion kit.? Thanks John

of course they will be different you split or sort out the cases into varouis lengths and set the machine to do 70 mm then set it to do 67.5 mm you dont expect to put in a 70 mm and do it good then put in a 67.5 mm and do the same
and of course you will have to put a different wad in to get the collum height if your useing fibre wads put one in thats 3 mm shorter or a different plastic wad
the machine will still do both 70 and 67.5 mm just have to set it up to do it its only a 5 min job to set final crimp .. if you have 3 mec reloaders set 1 machine up to do 70 mm cases set another to do 67 .5 mm cases and the other to do what ever you want
