MEC Mini Short Kit for 1-7/8" 12ga #100MN9241
This Mini Short Kit converts your MEC 600 JR to load 1-7/8" Mini shotshells. The specialized riser plate and accessories make your conversion process quick and easy.
MEC EZ-Fill Funnel (#1308994) is another gizmo from MEC that works well as a partner product to the MEC shot/powder bottles. Together, these tools make loading so much easier and less frustrating. If you've ever poured shot or powder, then you have spilled costly shot or powder. This is just inevitable. Limit your costly spills and the expletives that emanate from your reloading bench with this simple funnel.
The EZ-Fill Funnel fits directly over all MEC (large or small) shot and powder bottles for easy non-spill fills. It couldn't be any easier and it will pay for itself in no time.

The Universal Charge Bar is an alternative product that may save you money and storage space. Some people prefer using their bushings with original MEC Charge Bars, while others like the universal adjustability of the Universal Charge Bar.
HOT-RODDING YOUR MEC RELOADER:
You can improve MEC performance with just a couple convenient accessories:
Better Crimps: When loading new/primed hulls, your crimps may not stay closed if you are using a standard plastic crimp starter. The Super Crown Crimp Starter is designed to put a lasting crimp memory into new plastic, essential for tight and functional crimps on new hulls. The Super Crown also provides better crimps on once-fired hulls too.

partial short kit | 3/24/2025 |
| It does function as a 2.5in by using the plate without feet. With the 1/2in feet, it doesnt function as claimed to make 1 7/8. Possibly what I recieved was mixed up, as the shortened crimp body is NOT 12ga size. | ||

A must for your Mec loader!!!! | 2/8/2023 |
| This kit is a real time saver and expands the versatility of your Mec loader. If you’re machine is set to 3”, it makes going to 2-3/4” a breeze by just adding the 1/4” steel base plate under your shell holder, add the 1/2” legs under the base plate you now can do 2-1/4” hulls on your MEC. If you’re machine is set to 2-3/4” hulls you can go all way down to 1-7/8” to 2” hulls. This kit is great and really comes in handy when needed. Even if you’re machine is set to 3-1/2” you can go to 2-3/4” hulls by adding this kit under your shell holder. You can go to 3” if you have another 1/4” steel base plate or a 1/4” spacer bushing from another supplier. I highly recommend this kit to anyone with a Mec 600, Sizemaster, steelmaster, or any Mec with the same base plate layout, priced reasonably well too. I do have one gripe or peeve, that’s fixed fairly easy. It’s the 3 little tabs on the Mec shell holder that usually clip, grasp, fit underneath the machines frame base plate to hold it in place. While those tabs work excellent without the short kit installed, when you install the 1/4” steel short kit base plate, these 3 tabs now sit on the frame base plate and cock the 1/4” steel plate at a very slight angle, which in turn makes your shells sit at a slight angle. I marked where these tabs sit, broke out my dremel , and notched out my Mecs Frame base enough so the 1/4” plate would lie flat, then just put a little touch up paint on it to protect the steel. These notches affect nothing on the function of the machine or the 3 little 1/2” legs that screw onto the short kit base plate. So no biggie, but if you’re OCD like most handloaders, prepare to take a few minutes to make the plate lay perfectly flat. That’s my ONLY gripe and other than that, THIS KIT IS EXCELLENT!! | ||
