Mec Reloading 600 Slugger Short Kit 20Ga 3'' To 2-3/4''

The Mec Reloading 600 Slugger Short Kit is a dedicated 20-gauge slug reloader built for hunters and shooters who want to handload rifled or sabot slugs efficiently without a separate workbench setup. This single-stage press is self-contained—no vice, drill press, or external equipment needed—and handles both 3-inch and 2¾-inch shells, making it adaptable to your ammunition needs. Based on Mec's proven 600 Jr Mark V platform, the 600 Slugger brings the same reliability that has made Mec a standard in the shotshell reloading world to the specialized task of slug ammunition.

What sets the 600 Slugger apart is its approach to crimp design. The press uses Mec's special dies to fold the plastic case into a roll-crimp finish, giving your reloaded slugs a factory-like appearance and consistent performance. Loading is straightforward—simply pull the handle through a single-stage cycle. Depending on your load recipe, you can process between 100 and 125 rounds per hour, making it practical for regular hunters who burn through significant slug volumes each season.

This short kit for 20-gauge means you're getting everything configured for that gauge and shell length from the start, eliminating the need to source or swap conversion parts. It's the kind of setup that appeals to dedicated slug hunters who value efficiency, repeatability, and the ability to customize loads for their specific shotgun and hunting application.
