Old mec, will not crimp!!!
« on: May 29, 2006, 05:27:03 PM »
I haven't successfully made one 12 ga. shell with an old mec loader I came across. I have never loaded shotshells before, but I understand the process.  all parts are their, and everything goes fine until the final crimp.  I have tried every adjustment I thought possible! :x  If anyone can help me PLEASE DO! I think it's a jr. modle. You will have to be very specific for me to understand  :roll:  Thanks.

Do you have the manual? It should cover your problems (or maybe not). If you don't have the manual, you can download one for free here:

Explain in as much detail as you can or better yet show us a photo and we'll try to help. Until we know what it is doing it's hard to tell you what to do to make it do differently.
