Mec 600 Jr. Mk5 28ga Die Set - Model 8452

The MEC 600 Jr. Mk5 28ga die set (Model 8452) is a dedicated reloading die setup engineered for handloaders working with 28-gauge shotshell ammunition. This die set is built to work with MEC's 600 Jr. reloading press, giving you the precision and repeatability needed to produce consistent, reliable shotshell loads for clay target shooting, hunting, or sport shooting. If you're already running a 600 Jr. press or planning to build a dedicated 28-gauge reloading station, this die set delivers the specialized tooling required for that gauge without the need to swap components on a multi-gauge machine.

The 28-gauge is a lighter, more specialized cartridge than the 12 or 20, favored by shooters who want reduced recoil, lower noise levels, or who simply prefer the challenge of precision shooting with a smaller bore. Reloading for the 28 lets you tailor loads to your specific shotgun and shooting style while stretching your ammunition budget. A dedicated die set means you're not constantly adjusting or changing out components—your 600 Jr. press is optimized and ready to go whenever you want to reload 28-gauge shells.

MEC has been the reloading press standard in shotshell handloading for decades, and their die sets are built to the same exacting standards. The 600 Jr. series is known for smooth operation and durability, whether you're loading a few boxes a month or running regular sessions at the bench. This Model 8452 die set pairs the press frame with all the dies and tooling needed to start producing 28-gauge ammunition from fired hulls.
