Ya know, I have a Mec Mk V, I think a MK V, and a lot of the shells come out looking pretty good, many just horrible crimps though. Had two Lee Loader's, a 12ga and a 20ga, the press type one's. Same deal most of the shell came out of them with really sorry crimps. One thing the Mec and Lee had in common is all the shells worked! The really bad crimps I dribble hot candle wax over to close up the crimp and fire them! if I could have one brand shot shell loader it would be a Texan. Had a Texan FW in 12 ga years that was out of this world good loading shells. Unfortuantly the guy making them died and what I call the best shotshell reloader ever simply went away!
