Reloading stuff

Personally I feel the RCBS lot is a little high. This stuff seems to be a little older so primers etc are a little suspect. Only reason I feel that is because I don't know how they were stored. It's not overly high so if you want the metallic stuff I would buy it... as the 10-10 scale is a good one as is the powder measure. Check the bottom of the plastic on the powder measure..it is probably cracked..if not it will crack. sooner or later.

The Mec loader is old..a 650 of that vintage is worth no more than 50 bucks..not bad machines but they do not resize the shells and that type of primer feed isn't the most reliable. Fed 410 primers haven't been made in 20 yrs or more(I have some too) and the regular 209's about 12 yrs..the shot etc is a good thing though at 25 a bag for chilled..All American cases haven't been made since the 70's. The lachmiller shell saver is old stuff but they worked good. It does resize the brass on shells. I would offer 200 on the Mec stuff IF you really want it...otherwise if not shooting much buy it and sell the 650 on ebay and get a single stage mec
