I have been converting shotshells from birdshot to slugs and I really think it is time I start doing this correctly.

I have scrounged up probably 600 pounds of lead, maybe 150 of nice soft stuff for slugs and the rest for buckshot and 44mag down the road.

I have gone back and forth on a MEC 600 Jr and a Lee Load All 2 and I have settled on the MEC.

I have looked but can't find them 600 listed in Canada.

I have looked at used unit but since I am new to reloading I think it might be best to start from scratch with a new press that hasn't been used/abused/tampered with/etc since I wouldn't likely be able to recognize that.

Where might I look? States? Any particular store?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I have been loading slugs with a Lee load all for a bit now. The press is a bit of a POS but it get the job done for the money.

After a bit of experimenting I finally got the combination right (AA hull, 34gn HS-6, Win Pink wad and star crimp)

Im thinking of going to a MEC sizemaster which I belief comes with a primer feed ($50 option for the 600 jr.)

sizemaster is the way to go over the Jr, primer feed which you will want someday on the jr and the collet resizer which is 100% better than the ring on the jr.
 
ive gotten a used 600 mk5 for $60you have to adjust the thing anyway i like it and ive used it for countless shells so also id get a adjustable charge bar they work well and you can play with it to get the right weight of powder needed
 
Being Alberta I will suggest bilozir, he carries mec and a ton of reloading supplies as well. If you don't have it yet I suggest getting Lyman's 5th shotshell book, tons of recipes in there for loading everything.
