Buying for Father

Need a little assistance here if you would be so kind. I was planning on purchasing this from the classified's section but it was sold before I received even one reply from the seller.

Now I have roughly the same amount of cash saved up and wanted to buy something comparable for my Father who just recently became interested in reloading his own shells.

He has two 12 gauges and will eventually reload more but I showed him the above classified and he said it would be awesome. Now that it's sold I need to find a replacement.

Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can purchase something similar to what he was expecting? Want something quality and have about 350-400 dollar budget.

Check MidwayUSA, Natchez Shooters Supplies and MidSouth Shooting Supplies for a MEC reloader. MEC has been making shotgun shell reloaders for many years and are well respected. They probably also carry Pacific so you can check that price.

MEC Grabber is what he picked out. Anything I should know being a first time buyer?

There's a shop not far from you that stocks all sorts of shotgun reloading presses and components, check them out. Call first, they're only open limited hours.

Darryls Gun Shop
Rr 1
Newmanstown, PA 17073

He's just off of Rt. 897 between Schaefferstown and Kleinfeltersville. You'll see his sign at the intersection of Rt. 897 and Horse Happy Road. Follow Horse Happy road to the end, turn left on Canaan Grove Road, he's just a few hundred yards and on the right, or you could go in on Hopeland road to Canaan Grove Road.
Really decent guys to deal with. (And they have a lot more than shotgun reloading stuff).

Honest, I didn't make up any of these names, look it up on a map.
