I have an older 28ga MEC 600 JR press and was wondering if just buy 20ga dies and convert this press to 20ga. Also, where can I purchase these dies.
 
I used to have a 600jr and loaded 12, 20. and 410 on the same press. Changing dies can be a b!!ch at first, but once you have them set up not really an issue. As to where to buy I don't know, I sold mine a while ago. I would imagine anybody that sells the machine can get the parts.

For what you are going to pay for a conversion kit better off to buy a used 600 jr in 20ga unless you no longer want to reload 28ga on your existing unit.
If so then order new dies from irv's or wsports making sure you order the right set since there is three versions of the 600 jr pending the year made. Check their parts illustrations on their web page to see what one you have Also mec is ther last place to buy parts unless you want to pay through the nose. They take care of their distributors by selling full retail. Take care
 
So what's one of these worth used? Just ball park
Thanks

i've seen as low as 100, and told the guy i'll take it. confirmed address to pick it up, then 2 days later the time. and he sold it, cause he was offered cash of all things..... /rant.

i ended up getting one for $150 with a bunch of powder bushings.

i was going to get a lee load all for 75 new, but i'm happy i spent the extra in this case. i would hate to have to put the resizing ring on every shell.
