If you shoot a lot of 28 gauge and you're tired of babysitting a single-stage press, the MEC 9000GN is the machine built to keep up with you. It runs ten operations across six stations, so every time you work the handle you pull out a completely finished shell. Insert your hull and wad, pull the handle, and the press handles the rest of the sequence from de-prime and resize all the way through final crimp. For folks reloading target and field loads in volume, this is the kind of workflow that turns a chore into a rhythm.
The heart of this press is MEC's Auto-Dex automatic indexing, which moves each shell to the next stage simply by returning the handle to the top of its stroke. The factory-set speed keeps movement uniform through every stage no matter how fast or slow you work the lever. A fully automatic E-Z Prime primer feed holds a couple hundred primers and drops them for you, and auto-cycle charging meters powder and shot without extra fuss. When the final crimp is done, finished shells eject on their own, so there's no stopping to clear the carrier by hand.
MEC's Power Ring resizer brings each hull back to spec without interrupting the loading sequence, which means your shells chamber and cycle the way they should. The three-stage crimp does the finishing work in steps: the first station starts the crimp, the second closes it, and the third puts a clean taper on the mouth. This 28 gauge model comes set up to load 2-3/4 inch shells and resizes both high and low brass hulls.
This is a steel-framed, hand-operated press made by Mayville Engineering, a name that's been trusted in shotshell reloading for decades. Dialed in, it'll turn out roughly 12 to 16 boxes an hour, which is real high-volume capability for 28 gauge handloaders. Keep in mind the 9000GN is gauge-specific, so this unit stays dedicated to 28 gauge work.
No, this press is dedicated to 28 gauge and MEC does not offer die sets to convert the 9000GN to another gauge. If you want to load a different gauge, you'd need a separate 9000GN set up for that one. Each unit is built and factory-set for its specific gauge from the start.
With the Auto-Dex indexing and finished-shell ejection working together, you can realistically turn out around 12 to 16 boxes of shells per hour once you get into a steady rhythm. Every pull of the handle produces one completely finished shell. That kind of output is what makes it worth the step up from a single-stage press.
It ships with three powder bushings (14, 16, and 21) and a 3/4 oz charge bar, and it comes factory-set to load 2-3/4 inch shells. You'll still need your own components like hulls, wads, primers, powder, and shot. If your powder and shot combo calls for a bushing outside the included set, MEC offers a wide range of additional bushings.
The press is set up for lead shot out of the box, but MEC offers conversion kits to make it steel-shot compatible, which are sold separately. If you plan on loading steel, grab the appropriate kit for your setup. For standard target and field lead loads, you're ready to go as it ships.
