I was given this years ago and I haven't used it so it's time for it to go. Any idea on it's worth?

I saw 2 in a pawn shop about 2 weeks ago. One was $30 and didn't have the primer tray or the universal charge bar. The other one was $50 and had both, but appeared more used than yours does. I hope that helps.

Very poor time to sell right now, especially with the primer drought. Wait if you can.

Twelve gauge reloading has slowed these days, hence demand for machines like this one. You are apt to spend as much on postage as you get for the loader.

However, the universal charge bar will bring more, and I would definitely separate them. I would suggest another shotgun website for both.

They are going for over $100 plus $30 to $40 shipping on Ebay. Go over there and check it out. MEC prices have gone way up. A new 600 Jr is over $200. I am currently looking for a good deal on a used 600 Jr in 28 gauge.

WHY NOT KEEP IT AND LEARN TO USE IT????

I have three, set up for 12, 20 and 28 ga. I like them.

the unibar is worth 40-50 bucks alone.

I have them in 12, 16, and 20. Looking for a 28 to round out the set. They do all I need at a good price. I am not a volume shooter. I just want good loads for less money that factory. The cheap Wal Mart loads do not perform and the good stuff is expensive. I started loading for 20 gauge in the early 1980s when rabbits were abundant. Since I already had shot, powder, and primers, it wasn't too expensive to get used 600s for 12 and 16.

I have 3 also, a 10, a 12, and a 20 gauge they are great presses , and are a great value.

Agree 100%.

Unfortunately, reloading stuff has gotten a good bit more expensive than when I picked up those presses, used.

I'm also not a volume reloader. I once had a MEC turret press, but eventually sold it. It's great when things are running right, but a nightmare when they aren't. The 600 Jr. design is about perfect for my use, easy to set up and fast enough for me.

Good luck finding a 28 ga. MEC.

DF is right good luck on finding a used small gauge 600 jr. The price of components for 12 ga loads is almost more than loaded ammo price. Wallyworld loads work fine for clay pigeons for me but I don't shoot registered birds anymore. Shotshell loading pays major dividends with the 10,16,28 ga. And 410 bore. The wads for these sizes are more expensive but so is the retail on factory loads for them. Last box of 2.5" 410's I saw were Fiocchi's and 9.99/25 when I load them they run about 4.20 a box. The utility of loading my own keeps me doing it 2 5/8" 12 ' s, 2 7/8" 10's, 2 9/16 16 's can't buy this stuff often and it is usually damned expensive. Mb

just listed my Dad and my shotgun stuff on CL 2 mec's one 28, 1, 16, 2 set up's for 20 ga, too much stuff to ship and I have more ammo than i'll ever use, hate to see it go though ,it was something he really enjoyed.

Link?

Better jump on it df myself I have (1) 10, (3)12 's, (2) 16's ,(2) 20's and a 410 600.jr's. No I don't change dies just a separate loader or 2 for each gauge it's faster and easier way to operate. Besides what the hell bought them at gunshows for 40-50 bucks each. Mb

thats the way to do it. changing dies is a pita.

That's why I have three 600 Jr. presses set up in 28, 20 and 12 ga.

Yup, when everyone who is not prepared stops panicking you can buy a whole set up used for half what dies cost. But too many people today think their time is to valuable to reload their own ammo.First you make promo target loads availible for less than the components cost then you got everyone who could be reloading jacking their meat and watching Oprah or some duche bag sh*t on tv. So you got younger guys going why reload? I can buy factories cheaper. Now you got no factories, no reloads and old guys who have the skills dying left and right. All part of there plan to make people dependent on their keyboards , mass marketing assh*les and Gov't deciding who gets what. Well I ain't going down or away that fugging easy. Making my own shot, roundball, and ppb's and got enough of what other I can't make. I spect you guys are much the same but there are damn few of us left. Mb

bingo...
