the industry standard, but with some minor caveats","text":"I bought this for trap/hunting loads for my inherited Ithaca 37, and it turns out good loads so far.\nMinor quibbles: The six-point crimp starter and spent primer catch tray came totally shattered.\nI already had a spare primer catch tray (ordered earlier for my 12 gauge version when I mistakenly believed that it wouldn't include the tray with the loader), so I contacted MEC directly to replace a replacement for the crimp starter, but after nearly two weeks after they said they would send it), I still haven't gotten it.\nThis isn't enough to turn me off entirely, but it's rather disappointing, so I'll contact them once more and ask what happened, then decide if their customer service, while certainly nowhere near the highest standard set by \"Big Green\" (RCBS), is at least responsive to their customers.\nThe loader works well, but I have to say that it confirms what I had read about some people getting a few granules of powder leakage from charge bar with each loading session, even though I am using all the sealing components (O-ring and washer) on the charge bar.\nThis isn't a deal breaker by any means, but it's something that the reloader will need to keep in mind from a safety aspect that will require a sweep up of the powder after each loading session.\nBy contrast, my RCBS Uniflow measure doesn't leak even the tiniest granule powders that I run through it, so I suspect that powder leakage is an issue inherent with charge bar measures of all types to some extent.\nAs for the rest of the press, I do like its ease of operation, adjustability, and crimps, and it came set from the factory with the deprime/resize, priming, powder/shot/wad station all set just right for 7/8 oz. load shot loads using tapered wads.\nThe final crimp station required just a bit of adjustment to get my crimps properly folded without over-crimping (swirl) or too little )opening at the center, but once adjusted, I'm satisfied with how the shells look.","textLength":1950,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":"29425302","dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"badge":null},"reviewedDate":"2022-11-25T18:57:42-05:00","purchaseDate":"2022-10-28T20:35:32-04:00","dateCreated":"2022-11-19T06:05:44-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"2408-844720","title":"MEC
