Hello Duffy,
Sounds like you have a plan starting there, but be careful if it is big enough for a reloading nook it is big enough for a closet!!! Start complaining now and never stop....mice....bugs..... maybe there are mice & bugs in that corner
.
Laying all jokes aside I do like the cigar boxes and coffee cans! Under that bench are probably (very concervatively) 30,000+++ once fired brass cases (some in 3lb coffee cans) that I have aquired over the past bajillion years, and I am able to help others periodically with a handfull here and there. As a matter of fact a neighbor/friend just called a few weeks ago and came over and dug out a few hundred .357 magnum cases.
Now getting on to your Mec 600 Jr, you are going to love it once you get it running like you want it. If you are one of those 100 straight guys and shooting on 2 leagues a week you will probably want to go with a progressive soon, but if you still have your 25 straight patch (and glad to have it
) the 600 will keep you going for a long time.
What type of shotgun do you use and where is your range located? Take care and God bless. cordell....................BTW I just shot Sporting Clays for the first time last summer......................................what a humbling experience
