I'm assuming this is a MEC 9000 or Grabber, not a hydraulic 9000H.

If your MEC fails on 4x10 hulls, try just depriming/resizing in the first station only. Don't let the turret fill up with hulls. Do each one at at time. Does it still fail to take out the primer? If it still fails, it's due to some problem with the depriming station and not the other stations. If it works find that way, then the problem could be caused by other shells further along in the turret.

Check to see that there is no shot wedged between the fingers of the collet and that the primer drop tube drops completely when being deprimed.

If all else fails, call MEC. Their customer service is great.

MEC has a resizer/deprimer only that you can punch out the primer with a tool and hammer. It's good to have when you mess something up and need to fix or add a shell. Cheers, Tom

Is it safe to say that punching out the primer is probably the hardest thing this machine has to do?
