The first thing I wanted to do was fire it to see how sweet it felt, but the challenge I ran into was not the gun fit or the fact it did not have a release trigger - the problem was my 28–gauge reloads would not fully chamber. I intend to use it to teach my grandsons to shoot.
Recently I purchased a great little 28–gauge Remington 1100 Sporter. This article pertains to reloading machines with collet–type resizers, like the MEC. Your loaders insert shells into a full–length sizing die at the first stations, and the shell remains in that die until the shell is completely loaded. Instead, it will include tips to help you ensure your shotgun shells fit in all your favorite shotguns, not just the one you shoot most of the time.įor those of you reloading enthusiasts who have a Spolar Gold or Ponsness/Warren or loader other than a MEC, this article will have little value to you except for general info on possible resizing problems. Have been reloading rifle, pistol and shotgun ammunition for more than 25 years, but this article will not be about reloading machines or reloading recipes. I had made the assumption the resizer on this machine would resize to the proper specifications for the 28–gauge shell.
