If you shoot enough 20 gauge to make reloading worth your time, the MEC 9000GN earns its spot on the bench fast. This is a true progressive press, meaning it works multiple stations at once and drops a completed, crimped shell into your hand every time you cycle the handle. There's no stopping to move hulls around by hand. You feed in a wad and a hull, pull the lever, and the machine does the rest.
The heart of this press is MEC's Auto-Dex automatic indexing, which moves shells through each of the six stations simply by returning the handle to the top of its stroke. Finished shells eject on their own after the final crimp, so you're not fighting the machine between pulls. The factory-set indexing speed keeps movement smooth and uniform through every stage regardless of how hard or soft you work the handle. It also runs a fully automatic primer feed that holds a couple hundred primers at a time, plus auto-cycle charging to keep powder and shot dropping consistently.
Three separate crimping stations handle the finish work. The first starts the crimp, the second closes it, and the third puts a clean taper on the mouth so your shells chamber smoothly. MEC's Power Ring resizer brings every hull back to spec without interrupting the loading sequence, and it handles both high and low base shells. The result is a stack of uniform, reliable shells ready for the field or the clays course.
This is built for volume. Once you find your rhythm, the 9000GN can turn out roughly 300 to 400 shells an hour, and plenty of seasoned reloaders push past that. The press comes set up for 2-3/4 inch shells and ships with everything you need to get rolling on standard 20 gauge loads. There's a bit of a learning curve like any progressive, but once it's dialed in for your load, it just keeps producing. For trap, skeet, sporting clays, or stocking up for bird season, it's a workhorse that pays for itself one case at a time.
Once you get into a steady rhythm, the 9000GN will produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 to 400 shells per hour. Experienced reloaders who keep their components organized often report hitting even higher numbers. Your pace depends a lot on how smoothly you work the handle and how well your bench is set up for feeding components.
It ships configured for standard 2-3/4 inch 20 gauge shells and includes a 7/8 oz charge bar along with #20, #22, and #24 bushings. You'll still need your own hulls, primers, powder, shot, and wads to start loading. Keep in mind this press is dedicated to 20 gauge and is not designed to be converted to other gauges.
It's a capable progressive, though it does have a bit of a learning curve while you get the machine dialed in for your specific load. Many folks find it helpful to settle on one load and one powder first, then let the press do its thing. Plenty of beginners have started on a 9000GN successfully, especially after watching a few setup videos and taking their first few pulls slowly.
Auto-Dex is MEC's automatic indexing system that advances your shells through all six stations when you simply return the handle to the top of its stroke. The factory-set speed keeps the movement uniform no matter how you work the lever. Finished shells eject on their own after the final crimp, so there's no extra handling between cycles.
