Description
The MEC 9001HN is the reloader head for serious 12 gauge volume, built for folks who already run a MEC hydraulic setup and just need the press itself. This version ships without the pump and hose, so it's meant to bolt onto your existing hydraulic unit and foot control. If you're burning through cases of trap, skeet, or sporting clays loads, this is the kind of machine that keeps you ahead of the game.
What separates the 9001HN from a standard progressive is how little you have to do. It carries all the features found on the 9000GN, then adds automatic indexing and finished-shell ejection to speed things up even further. MEC's Auto-Dex system moves shells through each stage on its own as the cycle returns to the top, and every completed shell kicks out of the carrier after the final crimp. You load empties and wads, and the press does the rest.
How the MEC 9001HN Runs Your Bench
With the hydraulic drive doing the muscle work, each full downstroke of the foot pedal performs all reloading operations across all six stations at once. The factory-set speed keeps movement smooth and uniform through every stage no matter how hard or soft you work the pedal, so your loads stay consistent shell after shell. That hands-free rhythm is a big part of why high-volume clay shooters lean on these.
Set Up Your 9001HN 12 Gauge the Way You Load
Like all MEC reloaders, the 9001HN includes one charge bar and three powder bushings so you can dial in your target recipes right out of the box. Keep in mind this is a dedicated 12 gauge machine, as MEC does not offer conversion die sets to switch the 9000 series between gauges. It's proudly built in the U.S.A. and backed by MEC's reputation for presses that run for decades with basic upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MEC 9001HN come with the hydraulic pump and hose?
No, this version is the reloader unit only and does not include the pump and hose. It's designed to apply to an existing MEC hydraulic system you already own. If you don't have a hydraulic unit yet, you'll want the complete 9000HN package instead, which ships with the pump and hose.
Is the 9001HN a true hands-free progressive?
Just about. You insert the empty hulls and wads, then each full downstroke of the foot pedal runs all reloading operations across all six stations at once. The Auto-Dex system indexes the shells automatically and finished shells eject on their own after the final crimp, so your hands stay focused on feeding components.
Can I convert the 9001HN 12 gauge to another gauge?
No. MEC does not offer conversion die sets to change the 9000 series over to a different gauge. This is a dedicated 12 gauge machine, so if you load multiple gauges you'd run a separate press for each.
What comes set up on the press out of the box?
Like all MEC reloaders, the 9001HN includes one charge bar and three powder bushings so you can match common target loads. From there you can fine-tune your powder and shot charges to your preferred recipe. It's built in the U.S.A. and backed by MEC's long-standing reputation for durable reloading gear.
