MEC is the best value for cost.
From there you need to determine the volume you will be loading.
for a box or 2 a week the entry level (650jr?) works well, but is slow.
For higher volumes, you might want to consider the 9000G.0 -

The MEC 600jr is a really nice press as far as a single stage goes and will last a lifetime, it's hard to screw up a load using it.
All three of the kids I helped get into loading there own 12's, 20's and 410's use them and do very well with them. It's one of there favorite pastimes now.
Mines probably pushing 40 years old, and even the house fire way back when didn't seem to bother it other than removing some paint.0 -

Agree with the responses for MEC loaders but consider 1 step up from the Junior and get the Sizemaster. 0 -
Are you thinking of going cheap for now or going whole hog like a Hoarnady progressive?
A mec will easily do 4 to 5 boxes in under 2 hours.I know my cheap little Lee Loadall will,and the mec is a much better machine.
I saw Jim Scoutten running the Hornady on tv,and man did it put out some shells.whoooeee.0 -
My fishing partners 11 year sister can load a single box of her 410's on a 600jr in under 10 minutes consistently. Her brother (12) can do a box of his 20 guage in under 12 minutes. The older brother (14) can do a box of his 12 gauge in about 15 minutes...
None of them has had a miss fire in over 500 rounds !!!
Oh to be that young again, it takes me about 20 minutes to do my 12's.. [:)]0 -

It's Hornady [:D]
The 600JR works well, but at only 4 boxes/hour it is to slow for volume shooters. On the plus side, it is under $100 brand new.
The MEC 9000 G is a 1 pull, 1 shell progressive, and has no problem eating 1000 primers/wads in 2-3 hours (15-20 boxes/hour).
I was feeding 3 shooters off my 9000G, my wife at 8 boxes/week, my buddy at 8-10 boxes/week and myself at 10 boxes/week. (10bx/wk = 250 shells/week x 52 = 13,000/year, and compaired to some of the shotgunners I'm considered a flyweight[:D]).0 -

I like the MEC sizemaster. it's relatively compact, inexpensive lets you load fairly fast and yields a quality round. remember, it's better to be judged by twelve than carried by six. 0
