Great video good info. I appreciate your time to make the video. It will help me out when I take my mec 9000 GM out of its box and load for my first time. Just making shot and I have the process down pretty good. Now I get to load. Yip pee. Thanks again. From Alberta Canada
I've been reloading regularly for about a year prior pandemic and since then forget a few things (I have 8567 Grabber). Your video refreshed a few important things to avoid the mess which I have had before and wouldn't want to go through again. Thank you Chris. You did a great job! P.S. I am a public speaker by trade, so I suggest that you speak a bit slower and a bit louder. A helpful hint is to open mouth a bit wider which will automatically slow your speech down. No offense. Again, great job!
Nice video, but you don't need to tip the bottles back to prevent shot and powder from dispensing. If your machine is set up properly, the charge bar stays locked until you have a hull in station 2. Then it will lock again when you run the press down and a hull is no longer in station 2. Here's a link to how to make these adjustments from MEC: ua-cam.com/video/rPMmkvdiJDs/v-deo.html
@@hilux8103 Yes, it's very easy to use and setting it up properly isn't very difficult either. The MECs are great reloaders. But like any shotshell loader, to minimize the need to make repeated adjustments, pick a series of components that suit your needs and stick with them (hull, wad, shot size/weight). Then once set up you shouldn't have to make any more adjustments. The key is just to read the directions when setting up each station.
For casual shooters (like I once was), using low volumes of cheap loads, reloading makes no economic sense. But if you get into shooting large amounts of expensive competitive grade rounds like Winchester AA or Remington STS, being able to reload similar practice rounds at less than half the price suddenly makes a lot of sense. (Just my two sense)
Finally solved my problem of having shot and powder drop all over my reloaded on the first step! Thanks for the step by step help!
Thanks for the video, very helpful

hey mate, looking into buying this loader, what's your thoughts on it? once all adjusted correctly, easy enough to use?

I can buy a 100 shells at Walmart for $22.00. That's .22 each. How much does a reloaded shell cost?

Yeah, if you are just joe weekender with a 12 gauge the walmart cheapies are all you need.
The sub gauges and volume is where the savings are.
