New to reloading and I have a few questions.

[Donkismash 81]

I have been looking at Dillon and Mec since they seem to be the best for what they do.Is there any machine that will reload 9mm/.243/12gauge or should I buy a Dillon for my 9mm/.243 and a Mec for my 12 gauge needs?

1 won't do both, I have a dillon 550 and a ponsness warren 375. It makes great shells that my s12 loves but is non progressive. About 200 shells an hour. When I get the money I'll pick up a dillon 900 for the shotgun. Ponsness warren also makes a high end reloader as well. http://www.reloaders.com/index.php

'Donkismash' ,

 

Due to the great differences between shotshell and metallic case reloading, you will not find a reloader that does both. If you happen to find one don't buy it because you will regret it.

 

Get the Dillon 650 if you can swing it, because it is the Cadillac of reloaders and the Dillon no B.S. guarantee is exactly that.

My own experience with Dillon. I had just purchsed a new Dillon press and was going to move it from my workbench in the house to the garage. It got away from me and fell on the concrete floor of the garage.

I called Dillon and they said make a list of what I needed and they would send it for FREE (even the shipping was FREE). That is a true story and you will find others like it all the time.

 

I am not into shotshell reloading but MEC is a good brand.
