Default Re: 12 ga press?

without writing a book, let me share this.
there are 2 kinds of presses, single stage and progressive.
single stage means you do one step at a time, 6 times, watch every step very close, to get one shell.
progressive means every time you pull the handle, you get one. which means you have to watch 6 shells at the same time and hope all 6 stages do what they are suppose to do or you load a bad one.

rule of thumb, if you have experience around reloading, know what wrong or dangerous procedures look like, and get tired of reloading, and like to knock out a couple hundred if not a thousand rounds in one afternoon....get a progressive. people that shoot 500 rounds a week like them. its mass production at its finest.

but, if you are clueless, never did it before, and need to learn what can go wrong as you load, get a single stage.

bottom line, no holds barred.....get a mec 600jr.
