I responded to an ad in our local paper and bought a MEC Sizemaster in very good cosmetic & working order w/ all its paperwork, large powder & shot bottles and extra bushings and spare parts. It cost me $150 but I also got a full box of Winchester AA hulls, 10 pounds of 7 1/2 shot, a new unopend 8lb canister of Winchester AA WST powder, 500+ assorted 12 & 20 gauge hulls, two leather trap bags, two shotshell reloading books, 1lb container of Meteor 3F black powder, 350 shotgun primers & two 100 round MTM boxes with about 100 12ga reloads between them. I am excited to make the transition and if any of you have any sizemaster tips they'd be greatly appreciated. It's got a lot more adjustability than the Load-All's, but I figure I'll read the manual, then clean it real good before starting to load. It was the 1st of a two bargain day.
After I bought the above package, I went to Cabela's to meet another guy who sold me 7,000 Winchester large rifle primers for $140. I know that there will likely be no more really good deals for a bit. Time to get loading.
