You can buy a short kit from MEC for a 600 JR. but washers are less expensive. I have been doing this for over 20 years with great results. I don't know if they make a short kit for a progressive but on a single stage press it is easy. "As for me and my house we will shoot Damascus!"

If using the same shell holder in a short kit you'll need to grind/cut these little lips off. Don't worry, this is what MEC does. The heavy center column spring will keep it perfectly aligned.
