Reloaders etc

To be honest it may be a very good deal. It all depends on how much stuff is included in the whole thing. The reloading supplies may be worth as much as the asking price...and everything is negotiable. The 600 Jr is a good loader. I have loaded more than 1/4 million shells on them. Hard machine to beat. Admittedly the Sizemastr is a better machine they cost as much as 150 dollars and more. Buy the whole mess and sell the 600 out of the deal. Buy a new machinfe if you want. Now as to reloading nontoxic..Seriously it really isn't worth it..Unless..you intend to shoot more than a case of shells a year. A case in my mind is 500. Not many people do that. At the most when I was guiding I shot maybe 2 cases of shells. Usually not near that many though..but I did mooch off of the paying hunters...like a GOOD guide should. And as far as 3 1/2 inch..don't even think of it....especially for steel. You can't really make a shell to compete with factory. In lead ..yep. but not steel. Understand this was what I did for part of my living. I really do know about shotshell reloading. If you shoot competetive shotgun in any flavor..you WILL end up with some kind of progressive...so start with a single stage to learn the ropes
