Description
If you shoot a lot of slugs and are tired of paying factory prices, the MEC 600 Slugger is purpose-built to put that work in your own hands. It's a single stage shotshell press designed specifically for loading rifled or sabot slugs in 12 gauge, and it runs the whole operation start to finish without needing a vice, drill press, hand drill, or spinners cluttering up your bench. Depending on your recipe, you can turn out somewhere between 100 and 125 finished rounds an hour once you get into a rhythm.
What Sets the 600 Slugger Apart
The Slugger is built on the bones of the MEC 600 Jr Mark V, which has long been one of the most trusted shotshell reloaders out there, so you're getting a proven platform tuned for slug work. Instead of a standard star crimp, it uses MEC's special dies to fold the plastic into the shell so the finished round takes on a clean roll crimp look. A cam-action crimp die and the Spindex crimp starter do the heavy lifting here, with the Spindex swiveling to line itself up with the shell's original creases for consistent finishes shell after shell.
Setting Up Your MEC 600 Slugger
It comes from the factory set for 2-3/4 inch shells and adjusts over to 3 inch without any extra parts, so you can run two of the most popular hull lengths off one machine. The steel frame mounts down with four holes, priming is handled on a single feed with a spent primer collection system built in, and it ships with the 37, 38A, and 39A powder bushings plus a slug charge bar to get you started.
This is a focused tool rather than a do-everything press, and that's the whole point. If you reload hunting loads or home defense rounds and want slug-specific results with a simple pull of the handle, the 600 Slugger earns its spot on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of ammo is the MEC 600 Slugger designed to load?
The 600 Slugger is built specifically for reloading rifled or sabot slugs in 12 gauge. Instead of a traditional star crimp, it uses MEC's special dies to fold the plastic into the shell for a roll crimp appearance. It's a dedicated slug press rather than a general-purpose birdshot or buckshot loader.
Can the MEC 600 Slugger load both 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch shells?
Yes. The press comes set up for 2-3/4 inch shells right out of the box and adjusts to 3 inch shells without needing any additional parts. That lets you run two of the most common hull lengths off the same machine.
Do I need any other tools to use the 600 Slugger?
No. The machine is self-contained and handles the entire reloading process on its own, so you won't need a vice, drill press, hand drill, or spinners. It mounts to your bench with four holes and runs with a simple pull of the handle.
How many rounds per hour can the MEC 600 Slugger produce?
Depending on your load recipe and how comfortable you are with the process, the 600 Slugger can turn out roughly 100 to 125 finished rounds per hour. Priming is handled with a single feed, and a spent primer collection system is built right in. It can be upgraded to an automatic primer feed with MEC's separately sold accessory if you want to speed things up.
