Been shooting my Win 97 with the Win light loads up to this point. After a full day of CAS shooting my shoulder is tender. Rotator culf surgery didn't help either.
Got a MEC 600 shotshell reloader when I started gathering all my CAS stuff and just now got to play with it.
I'm using the AA Win hulls and the 7/8 oz bar. Have loaded up 4 different powder loads (Red Dot) and will let you know how they do as soon as I get a chance to get to the range. Used powder bushings 26, 24, 23 and 21. 26 is supposed to be equal to factory. With the 21 bushing I wil need to add either a thin wad or drop a couple more pellets in as it is a bit low on voumne. Might look at file folder material for this wad.
The MEC is a nice machine for just under $100. Got the powder baffle, the 7/8 shot bar and the bushings, too. After loading 800 rounds on my Dillon this morning (.38 Sp for Cowboy and 9mm for USPSA) I opened the box and within 20 minutes was turning out very good looking reloads. Since all I use the shotgun for is CAS this machine will do very nicely.
What I'm looking for is a very light load that the Mrs. and I can both shoot.
One note of caution: Be sure the top plug is tight before rotating the bottles back. Lead shot really runs out fast :grin: . At least I was outside and could blow all the shot off the driveway.
