Two years ogo at the Kamloops gun show a MEC 600 single stage and a MEC 600g, wads, about 4 lbs of powder $250. This was at the end of the show with no interest shown during two days. I guess what I'm trying to say is try to buy used.
A MEC 600 Jr lists at $229.99 at WSS, not $700. as you state above.
$700. puts you into the MEC 9000g progressive.
I think you did very well selling your old 600 and a few extras for $350.

My mistake I typed 600g instead of 9000g of which two were. Really am oldfart
