The MEC 9000GN Progressive Reloader is a 410-gauge shotshell press built for reloaders who want speed and consistency without constant operator adjustment. If you're working through volume on .410 shells—whether for upland birds, clay sports, or small-game loads—this press combines progressive automation with the kind of hands-on control serious loaders expect. MEC's proven track record in shotshell equipment means you're working with engineering refined over decades.

The standout feature here is automatic indexing: instead of manually advancing each shell through the reloading stages, MEC's Auto-Dex system moves shells to the next station automatically as you return the handle to the top of the stroke. That sounds simple, but it cuts operator fatigue and eliminates one of the biggest variables in high-volume reloading. You focus on smooth, consistent strokes; the press handles the logistics.

Primer seating on the 9000GN doesn't require the "feel" that older presses demand—the press handles it for you, which means less skill barrier and more uniform primer depth across your batch. The 410-gauge tooling is already on board, so no hunting for conversion kits. You can also remove shells from any station for mid-run inspection without breaking workflow, and the press accommodates both low and high brass shells with minimal adjustment in between.

This is a machine for serious .410 reloaders: people who load enough volume to justify progressive automation, but who want a platform they can trust for match-grade or hunting loads. Tabletop mounted, straightforward maintenance, and built on MEC's reputation for reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MEC 9000GN set up for 410 gauge, or do I need to buy separate tooling?

The 9000GN comes ready to reload 410-gauge shells—no conversion kit needed. The tooling is already in place.

What's the difference between the 9000GN and MEC's other progressive presses?

The 9000GN includes automatic indexing (Auto-Dex) and automatic primer seating, which moves shells through each stage as you cycle the handle and removes the guesswork from primer insertion. This speeds up reloading and reduces operator variability compared to manual-index models.

Can I reload both low and high brass 410 shells on the same press?

Yes. The 9000GN requires only minimal adjustment to switch between low and high brass domestic shells.

Do I need to move shells through the press one at a time, or does it handle multiple shells?

The Auto-Dex system advances shells automatically through each station as you return the handle to the top of its stroke, so you're moving one shell per cycle through the progressive stages—this is how progressive presses work and it's significantly faster than single-stage reloading.
