The MEC 600 Jr. Mark V is a single-stage shotshell press built for reloaders who want serious capability without the serious price tag. This .410-bore loader handles 3" shells and brings efficiency to the bench that was once reserved for expensive, complicated equipment. If you shoot .410—whether for upland birds, clay sports, or small game—and you're tired of buying factory ammunition, the 600 Jr. Mark V lets you load eight to ten boxes per hour, turning ammunition costs from a sore subject into something manageable.
Single-stage presses work one shell at a time, which means you control every step and can catch mistakes before they become problems. That's a real advantage if you're developing loads or working with specialty components. The 600 Jr. Mark V comes ready to load, and it's designed to last—MEC shotshell presses are workhorses found in reloading rooms across the country, trusted by hunters and competitive shooters who demand consistency.
The press ships with one charge bar and three powder bushings, giving you flexibility to switch between powder types and charge weights without swapping components every time you change loads. When you're ready to speed up your operation, the press easily upgrades to the optional 285 CA primer feed system, which automates primer handling and saves you time on high-volume days. That upgrade path means your initial investment doesn't lock you into a fixed workflow—you can grow into it.
