Later today I'm going to set up my new Mec 600 Jr.

I went to a store last week and got the following components, and will be putting them (unless I get a red flag from you folks) into Remington black hull "game load" (cheap) shells.

Here is what I have:[list=1][*]Western "WT12" 1+1/8 wads[*]Remington STS 209 Premier primers[*]Universal Clays (listing I can find shows a range of 21.5 to 23.0 gr)[*]Lawrence Brand 7.5 "high antimony" shot[*]MEC bushing 29 (22.4 gr)[*]MEC bushing 30 (23.3 gr)[*]MEC bushing 31 (24.1 gr)[*]MEC bushing 32 (25.0 gr) [/list=1]

I figure that the #29 bushing should put me right in the right range for the Universal Clays.

Am I good to go? Should I load 20 shells and try 'em out, before making a bunch (as I do with new handgun and rifle rounds) or just go to town tonight?

As always, thanks in advance for your time answering my question.
