If you've been itching to roll your own 12 gauge loads, the MEC Sizemaster is one of the best places to start and a press you won't outgrow in a hurry. It's a single-stage shotshell reloader built on a steel frame, and it strikes a nice balance between simplicity and real capability. The star of the show is the Power Ring collet resizer, which squeezes every base back to factory specification whether you're running brass or steel heads, high or low base. That consistent sizing is what keeps your finished shells chambering smoothly round after round.
Factory set for 2-3/4 inch hulls and adjustable up to 3 inch, the Sizemaster covers the vast majority of 12 gauge loads folks reload, from light trap and skeet rounds to heavier field loads. It ships with a 1-1/8 oz charge bar and #29, #30, and #32 powder bushings, so you've got a solid range of charge options right out of the gate. The Spindex crimp starter swivels to line itself up with the original shell creases, and the cam-action crimp die finishes things off clean. A working reloader can expect to turn out roughly four to six boxes an hour once they settle into a rhythm.
The E-Z Prime auto primer feed comes standard and dispenses primers automatically, which cuts down fumbling and speeds up your sessions. Little touches like the spent primer collection and the forgiving crimp die material make upkeep painless. It's the kind of press you set up once and just use.
The Sizemaster will reload steel shot shells, though you'll want MEC's steel shot kit (#8433) and a dedicated steel shot charge bar to do it right. If your interests expand down the road, MEC offers die sets to convert the press to other gauges, so the frame you buy today can keep serving you for years. Made in the USA and backed by MEC's long reputation, this is a press built to earn its spot on your bench.
Yes, the Sizemaster is a great entry point and still has enough capability to keep serious loaders happy for years. As a single-stage press, you work one shell through each station at a time, which makes it easy to learn the process and catch mistakes. Once you find your rhythm, you can expect to produce roughly four to six boxes per hour.
It can. The press comes factory set for 2-3/4 inch hulls and adjusts up to handle 3 inch shells, so you're covered for most common 12 gauge loads from light target rounds to heavier field loads.
Yes, the Sizemaster will load steel shot shells, but you'll need MEC's steel shot kit (#8433) along with a dedicated steel shot charge bar to do it correctly. You should not use components designed for lead shot when loading steel. For standard lead loads, the press is ready to go right out of the box.
For lead 12 gauge loads, yes. It includes the Power Ring resizer, E-Z Prime auto primer feed, a 1-1/8 oz charge bar, and #29, #30, and #32 powder bushings, plus the Spindex crimp starter and cam-action crimp die. You'll just need to supply your hulls, powder, primers, wads, and shot.
