I have been doing a lot of reaching because i bought a lee load all and when i started reloading my crimps were folding in and i ended up going on a shotgun web page where threre were guy's that had this problem. They were using the same hulls that i was Federal Top gun and come to find out i need to use a different wad they suggest me to use a one oz wad CB-6100-12 for the 12 ga load. Use the same amount of powder that it called for with the 1 1/8 oz shot but just change the wad keep powder and shot the same.
On the Lee Load-All: Plastic wads should be pushed down until there is a definite end of travel and no more. All you need is to push it down until it bottoms out in the hull. A few pounds of pressure, max. Bonus: The pressure gauge on the MEC 600 rammer tube should be IGNORED. It’s not there for plastic wads at all, just old school fiber wads that nobody uses anymore. The MEC 600 Jr. Mark V instruction manual says exactly that.
@@RDReynoldsOutdoorsSaw his roll crimping video. Still deciding between a 2nd hand 600 Jr or go cheap with a Load All 2, roll crimp tool, plus drill press.... Not many reloaders in OK, but found a Sports World store ~45min away that says they stock components.
@10:40 Now if we could only get politicians to figure that out. Haha Saw a 600 Jr on eBay this morning for $50+ $30 shipping. Doesn't look abused either.

As with any reloading press, always keep your powder hopper at least 3/4 full or you’ll start getting inconsistent charges.
I totally believe that

Thanks for sharing
Some of the fine powders leave a mess leaking ,and stack height issues,
I agree thanks for watching
Is that common (with all presses) across the board or just the Load All 2?
@CarlPapa88 my mec leaks a little with the brass washer but not big deal
@philipwatzke5198 I replaced my washer and rubber and it stopped. But the lead all is way more
Haha I'd wondered how the sticker placement was gonna work out.
😂 it had to be moved. But Keith at Salt Creek Ammo has been a big help.

@CarlPapa88 600jr hands down. Every part is replaceable. Plus the crimps are sooooo much better
