Jerry, you have quite a collection. I started in the 70's, got out of shotgun reloading till about 16 years ago. All mine are Mec's - two 600s, two 650s, a Grabber, and a 9000H. I had a PW 800, but it was so different I sold it. Everything is in a room in the basement. I'll go down there for hours. The wife is always saying " what do you do down there ?" Just having fun.

Paul,

I have only purchased one new one, a MEC 10 gauge Sizemaster. All the rest I picked up used, usually with components worth more than what I paid for the loader. I just got the 9000G for $225, with $50 of shot, powder, primers, and a new in the box powder scale. Three loaders are on a bench bolted down and the rest have wooden bases and I just clamp them to a table with a carpenters clamp and load whatever I feel like loading. Then hang them up on a nail through a hole I drilled in the base. I keep the four 12 set up for 3.5 inch goose/deer, 1 ounce loads, 24 gram (.85 oz.) super low 3500 psi pressures for questionable barrels, and the 9000G for whatever I want in quantity.

Wife asks me the same thing. Either looking at gun porn or loading shells. I find it relaxing until the 9000 screws up (when I forget a primer or wad) and make a mess.

One would be surprised how many MECs show up on Craigslist.
