pestcontrol1 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 As above really i have been looking for something to resize my once fired 410 brass on the hulls but cant find anything only the mec one at £100. So i was wondering what you all used shop bought or home made as that may be the way i have to go with it. Cheers PC1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Do you have a Mec in another gauge,?I can't remember? ( not sure if you have?) If so, you can use the first station on your other gauge mec, just swap some parts over. You will need re-size ring, deprime punch ( this is needed to push the shell off as well as deprime), KO bushing. I do this and it works fine. I also bought a re prime punch, but its a bit of a fiddle to sort out for 3" shells.Not a serious problem though. Fairly cheap solution as long as the used ones have fired plastic wads. If they have done fibre, forget it and chuck 'em. They stretch too much to get back in the chamber.!!! http://www.gamaliel.com/images/MEC600JrMark5.pdf Edited February 19, 2015 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy H Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 For cases that have been used with fibre I full length resize after reloading to restore them to a size to refit the chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestcontrol1 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I have only loaded plas wad upto now but will be looking at doing some fibre next. Is it a home made resizer that you have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yes I made my resizing die to fit into a 7/8 unf threaded reloading press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
