MEC Super-Sizer

[Maritime Storm]

Anyone have one? What's your opinion of it?

[Graybeard]

It's really nothing but the sizer off of the SizeMaster 77 or Grabber as a separate tool. If you have a press that doesn't size and need to size them before using the press I'd say it's fine but if you have a MEC press that sizes already why would you want to do the sizing as a separate operation?

I like the collet sizing they do but prefer to do it all on my press.

What press do you have?
I have Mec650 and I bought a super sizer since 650 will not  re size case that have low bases which most of them are anymore. Works great but they are not cheap, but it is better than having a bunch of shells that won't feed through your shotgun.

I use an old Lee-Load II, an early one with a solid base. The sizing ring was getting worn on it, originally I was wondering whether to buy a Super-sizer or a new ring. I broke down and ordered a new re-sizing ring for it recently.

My first press was a MEC 650. I also used a super sizer. You may not need to resize the shells if they are shot in the same gun. The super sizer did a fine job of squishing the brass so all shells would easily drop in the chamber

They work great.  I used one until I bought a MEC Sizemaster.  Now I plan to donate it to my club's Chinese Auction at our annual Deer Expo.

Now all my loaders are Sizemasters in .410, 28 & 12.

What the heck is a Chinese auction?

  I think a Chinese auction is were you donate something to the club and they auction it off.

What the heck is a Chinese auction?

It's a good club fund raiser.  All of the items that are donated by members or vendors are put on a long table.  Each has a number and a paper bag with the same number.  You can buy tickets and put the tickets in the bag in front of the item you want.  You can put all tickets in one bag or spread them out.  The winner is drawn from each bag and gets the item associated with that bag.  It's easier to do than explain.  We usually sell the tickets for a buck or 6 for 5.  Since everything is donated the club gets all the take.
