The MEC 9000GN progressive reloader for 20 gauge shotshells brings serious efficiency to your reloading bench. If you're loading volume for clay sports, hunting, or both, this press eliminates the tedious operator feel and guesswork that slows down less advanced systems. The 9000GN builds on proven MEC engineering with automatic indexing and finished-shell ejection—features that let you focus on consistency rather than mechanical fussing between every pull of the handle.

The standout innovation here is MEC's Auto-Dex system: simply return the handle to the top of its stroke, and the press automatically advances your shell to the next reloading stage. No manual positioning, no missed steps. That automation compounds over hundreds of rounds, turning a grinding afternoon into a smooth production run. Primer seating no longer demands the practiced touch that frustrates newcomers—the 9000GN handles it reliably, shot after shot.

Setup flexibility matters too. The press adapts to both low and high brass domestic 20 gauge shells with only minimal adjustment, so you're not locked into one hull type. And because you can pull shells from any station for inspection without breaking your rhythm, quality control stays in your hands—critical if you're dialing in loads or troubleshooting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shells does the MEC 9000GN load?

The 9000GN is designed for 20 gauge shotshells and handles both low and high brass domestic shells with minimal adjustment between them.

Do I need special technique or experience to use this press?

No. The automatic primer seating removes the need for operator feel, and the Auto-Dex indexing system handles shell advancement automatically—making it more accessible to newer reloaders while keeping experienced shooters productive.

Can I inspect my reloaded shells before they're ejected?

Yes. Shells can be removed for inspection from any station in the reloading sequence, letting you check quality at any point without stopping the entire process.

What makes the 9000GN faster than older MEC models?

The combination of automatic indexing (Auto-Dex), automatic primer seating, and automatic finished-shell ejection eliminates manual positioning and the guesswork that slows down manual-index presses, letting you maintain a steady rhythm through high-volume loading.
