\nDaniel bought a 410 gauge Remington 1100 to shoot skeet.
\nSo Santa brought him a MEC 600 Jr Mark 5 410 guage reloader for 3 inch shells.
\nWe then converted it to reload 2 1\/2″ shells as we were trying to keep costs to a minimum.

\nHere is an image of the first seven shells off the reloader.
\nAs you can see it takes a bit of effort to get it right.
\nCareful adjustment of the crimp depth is essential.
\nEven though the shell looked good, it would not eject properly.
\nSuspecting everything, we were ignorant of the proper course to take.
\nAfter reading we new we needed to measure the powder and shot weight thrown by the reloader.
\nBut without an accurate scale…
\nMy BEST friend Matt Simerson blessed us with a RCBS 10.10 scale…accurate to 1\/10th of a grain.
\nAfter measuring the shot weight, we found it necessary to add 4 extra #7 1\/2 pellets to reach the required 1\/2 ounce.
\nThis simple change made the gun eject the shell as required.
\nIt’s like they say…it’s all in the details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
