new to me press
 
I bought from a friend a Mec 9000H. What a machine. You put a shell and wad in place and push a foot petal. As fast as I can grab another shell and wad it's waiting. The reloaded shell slides out the back into a box. I have a empty box of shells on my left, and a box of wads on my right. There's a 200 primer tray and the high tubes for powder and shot. My only problem is not watching for a primer in the press - go through em so fast I run out. Wish I had this baby back when I was reloading between 30 and 40 boxes a week. Life just got a little better.

Whach your fingers. Things that are that automated tend to be hard on fingers when you lose your concentration.

Paul,
I have the 9000H in 3 gauges and absolutely love reloading again. Talk about volume reloading- whew! The only thing to watch out for is to make sure the resizing collet is lubed and clean and that your empty hull drops down far enough to resize and not crush the rim. Once you get the hang of it you will have no problem loading a flat (250+/-) in about an hour. Sure beats the ole' single stage does'nt it?

Beats the 650 and grabber. Never knew how fast you could go without trying.
