Yes, loading different length hulls is why I have the mec singlesIt's hard to beat the mec 600's, for the money. I have a few of them, and still load 410's on one. The beauty of the 600 in 410, is that you can load 3" and 2 1/2" shells on them, just by using the mec "short kit". I heard the rcbs grands are hard to come by.
Another option that I was looking into was the Ponsness Warren. But some of their older machines are difficult to find parts for.
I previously assumed you might have had a line on a cheap used 366, but if you're buying new, there are other considerations.It's hard to beat the mec 600's, for the money.

the 900/950 dont have a changable die collet system originally. There is an add on for it. I wouldn't get it with out the changeable system.I have a line on a Ponsness Warren 950 elite, from a guy at the club. He wants $500 for it, and I don't know what it has for bushings. He claims that it hasn't been used much, but I haven't seen it. I don't know if you can remove a shell from the carrier to check the weight of powder or shot drops, like a mec though.
I bought a Hornady vibratory tumbler from Brownells it came with Brownells forever warranty and they had it half price when I got it. It's been working well so far. Thousands of brass cleaned in it so far.I have steered away from most hornady products the last few years myself, there warranty isn't very good and had poor customer service, others may have had better experiences but i haven't, tried a hornady vibratory tumbler and it died in a year and i didn't use it like i do my LYMANS!!!!!
