I am looking for any older loading charts for MEC loaders. I have a lot of MEC's: 310, 400, 500, 600, Versa MEC, Hydra-MEC, Sizemaster SM77, also have a Super Sizer SS77. Would like charts that give loads and pressures for over card wads, and felt wads. I first started loading for shotgun in the late 1960's while an E-5 in the U.S. Navy, the only way I could shot trap, with a wife and 2 girls. There was very few plastic wads around at that

Hi,

I started with a MEC 250 20 ga for Christmas in 1965, and currently have Versa-MECs in four gauges (from skeet shooting days), a Supersizer (three gauges--no 28, yet), and a 600 Jr. 12 ga. MEC stuff does seem to grow on you. I've used some of their other models, but come back to basics easily. Sold a lot of them at the range, too.

In that time I've seen lots of powder charts showing which bushing throws what charge. But I don't recall anything with pressures and velocities from MEC, just the powder mfrs and the Lyman books.
