Who in the northern CO area is reloading 12 & or 20 ga? I would like to do some light loads in both gauges. However investing in ANOTHER reloading setup plus components is not doable. I can buy components OR a loader not both.

If you give me a couple days I might have one acquired.
May I suggest set up a watch on Craigslist. There are a lot of used deals. I recently found a Hornady 366 with heads for 12, 20 and 28 + Mec Jr 600 in 410 + hulls and a few thousand 209 primers for a total of $400. Quite the dealAll I was looking to do was be able to make 12ga slug shells at the time, but couldn't pass up the extras.
Now just need to find the time to pour some Lee slugs and get the appropriate wads.
I picked up a used MEC Jr for cheap too. Not quite the steal clocker found... But fair enough.
I've been surfing CL & TNOL. However start up cost vs walking in to WM and buying 100rd for $44. is a no brainer. I would like to do up some low recoil rounds for the spouse & I.
I offer my dillons to local shooters so they have the opportunity to shoot cheaper than OTC ammo. Perhaps this might happen with some of you SG reloaders. I buy components and leave some for the owner.

I have a both 12 & 20 ga progressive reloaders that I mounted on a board that can get clamped to a bench so they're moveable. You're welcome to borrow them, but I don't have any plans on getting up to Windsor anytime soon.
I read in General Discussion how to take shotgun shells apart with a dremel tool...

I have a portable 12ga Mec 600Jr I'd loan you next week if that works.
