The Load All II will work. It is just slow and not as easy as using a MEC. There are no set stops and everything is by feel. I crushed a few cases doing the first box of ammo, but got the hang of it and did pretty well after that. You have to position the hull correctly in the pre-crimp station, since it does not rotate, but it is easy to line up the case properly. The sizing ring has to be placed on the hull before station one and has to be taken off after the primer is inserted.
A buddy started loading for 16 gauge on the Lee, but wasn't happy with the crimps he was getting. He bought a MEC and sold me his Lee. He got the same poor crimps with the MEC. It seems that his 16 gauge hulls weren't very good. After a couple of years using the Lee, I got a used MEC. The Lee did the job. It was just a bit wonky compared to MEC.
