My dad bought one of these back when they were still new on the shelves, just pulled it out of the shed and its missing a few parts, thankfully they still make parts for these so she will live on
Yes, we have all the parts for these on our website at www.mecoutdoors.com and if you have any questions on the reloader or the parts, feel free to contact us: phone: 1-800-797-4632 or email: reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com
This is the model I want to get when they become available once again. I had a MEC 600 Jr many years ago and sold it because it was too slow. It took forever to get a box of 25 done and much longer to do a couple hundred. I have Dillon RL-550B and XL-750 presses. I would be interested in their SL-900 if it wasn't $1,500. The MEC 9000GN is much more affordable and also a great press. It will fit my needs much better than the 600 Jr I once had. It won't take me many years, even a decade to break even over buying store bought shotgun shells either. I'm in once I can get one. Right now everything and anything is out of stock or scalpers are x 1.5 or x 2 the price. I will wait until they come back down to normal.
Yes, you will really enjoy the 9000GN! We are continuing to make them and fulfill our backorders since the demand is so high. Hopefully by the summer time you will be able to find one at a great price from one of our dealers like midway, ballistic products or bass pro.

Hi Scott K, Thanks for commenting! If the charge bar does not lock up properly when the shells clear the first two stations, follow the following instructions; -Make sure that the charge bar is completely traveling to the left. The small screw in the front of the bar should contact the left side of the chrome measure assembly when the press hits bottom. -The top side of the trip rod #670F should be flush with the top side of the drop tube bracket #670C when the press is in the down position with no shells in the reloader. If the trip rod is above the bracket, bend down on the trip rod bracket #670E slightly until the top of the trip rod is flush with the drop tube bracket. The trip rod bracket is half way down the trip rod. The bar lock spring #670B should also be checked to ensure that it is not weak. If you have any further questions please call us at 800-797-4632 or email us at reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com
MEC Outdoors thank you for the reply. I watched a few other videos and checked some message boards. It appears my bar lock was bent out of place. Bent it back and it appears to be working properly.
Thank you so much for the question and the reply. I bought a used 9000 years ago and had a love / hate relationship until I read this Q&A. My own fault for not looking into further. I was too busy with other things and pulled this out of storage to start reloading again. 👍👍
I like how it doesn’t drop powder or shot if there isn’t a hull there to receive it…my Mec Grabber 762 will drop if there isn’t one in the shell plate and makes a huge mess
I have a 15yr old 9000G in 410, maybe loaded 500 rounds on it because it's constantly screwed up, might get 2 boxes loaded before it gets wonky and needs worked on for half an hour.
Hi Clayton, On all MEC reloaders, the depth of the wad is controlled by raising or lowering the shot (rammer) tube #505B. If more wad pressure is needed then you would loosen the shot tube and lower it slightly. Normal loads with plastic wads do not require more than 25-30 lbs of wad pressure. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at 800-797-4632 or reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com.
Hi Albert, Thank you for commenting. Question #1 Answer: The 9000GN is set for 2 ¾” only. There is a 3” kit but it is costly and takes around ½ hr to set up. Question #2 Answer: The best choice for reloading 2 ¾ , 3” and 3 ½” is the MEC Steelmaster #8755 along with a Short kit #8850. With this you can reload all 3 sizes in steel or lead just by changing the charge bar. If you have any further questions, please contact us directly by phone or email: 1-800-797-4632 or reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com
Hi Olen, Thanks for commenting. The charge bar will only release when there is a shell present at the 2nd station that is ready to accept the powder charge. When there is no longer a shell in the 2nd station then the charge bar locks back up to the left so it does not drop powder and shot. If you have any further questions, please contact us at 1-800-797-4632 or email reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com
@@Pennyg0785 Thanks for commenting. When there is a shell in station two it compresses the lower reprime spring up. This allows the trip rod to remain proud. If the trip rod is binding it will stick up higher in which, will release the bar lock resulting in a powder dump. When there isn’t a shell in station two the trip rod should become flush with the drop tube bracket when the handle is pulled down. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact us directly at reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com or 1-800-797-4632
@2:36 "..and the main thing is to making sure you have that primer in the carrier after station 1..". YOU"RE NOT KIDDING! if that primer isn't properly in the carrier all hell will break loose! I love this machine but I have to say that primer feeder mounting needs to be redesigned. Proper alignment is critical and quite difficult to get just right since the mount is just a couple of washers clamped on a powder-coated slot.
The bar is pre drilled for the shot amount indicated on the side of the charge bar. The powder bushings regulate the amount of powder. Recipes can be found on the powder company’s websites.

Thank you! That was what I am hoping for to get one by summer or fall. The more you make, the more we will buy!
Just bought it today . It’s on sale 🤷🏼♀️
Can you load steel with this machine ?
I bought one of these used, if I don’t have a hull in station 2 & 3 I get powder and shot everywhere. What adjustment should I look into?

i use a 600 jr right now. how do you set the depth of the wad in a progressive loader if you were to change the bar?

1. Does it do both steel and lead shot?
2. Does it reload all popular shell sizes: 2-3/4", 3" and. 3-1/2". As
Well?

What keeps the reloader from dropping powder and lead when there is no shell below the rams?
