You have your opinion on that and I most certainly have my opinion about your opinion .

What is the hangup on your 9000?

Not really sure on the first one . I have a friend thats a MEC guru of sorts and he was baffled a bit . The second one is doing well enough after I'm finished friday or saturday I'll move on to the 20 and then the 410 . Dunno if I'll bother with the 12 gauge as I don't shoot a 12 very often generally I shoot the 10 and 16 the most followed by the 28 .
No one will ever be able to convince me that these rube goldberg looking MEC's are in the same league with a PW or a Spolar but I can't find those very easily in the used market and certainly now for the same price . IF and it's a mighty big if , if I had my druthers and I wasn't so frugal lately I'd have five nice new Ponsness Warren 800 Plus's bolted down and a new Ponsness Warren LS-1000 10 gauge 2 7/8" . Might even see if I could talk PW in converting a LS-1000 for the 8 gauge but I suspect that would be over 2 grand for the 8 gauge . (Content edited by John)

I have Mec 9000 in 16, 20, 28 and 410. There a great press and I haven't had to many issues with them. The 16 and 20 are both set up for 2 1/2 inch hulls. I have had one occasion to send the 16 back to Mec but it came back just like new. I wish they would make one for me in a 2 1/2 12 but they won't do that any more .

I learned something this time loading 28's I'd not encountered before . Seems 6's and 4's bridge rather easily in the drop tube of a 28 loader .
Only time I'd loaded 4's and 6's previousely had been in the 10 gauge so obviousely the drop tube was larger and handled the larger size shot easily . But that ain't the case in the 28 loaders I have . I'll see if I can't get 1500 or so 20's loaded this week before I give the 410 a try . Hopefully I'll be able to start the 410's monday of next week . Once I get 1000 or so 410's I think Ill try and get a couple thousand 12's taken care of as well .
