Product Demo: 9000GN Shotshell Reloader 

Hi Scott K, Thanks for commenting! If the charge bar does not lock up properly when the shells clear the first two stations, follow the following instructions; -Make sure that the charge bar is completely traveling to the left. The small screw in the front of the bar should contact the left side of the chrome measure assembly when the press hits bottom. -The top side of the trip rod #670F should be flush with the top side of the drop tube bracket #670C when the press is in the down position with no shells in the reloader. If the trip rod is above the bracket, bend down on the trip rod bracket #670E slightly until the top of the trip rod is flush with the drop tube bracket. The trip rod bracket is half way down the trip rod. The bar lock spring #670B should also be checked to ensure that it is not weak. If you have any further questions please call us at 800-797-4632 or email us at reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com

MEC Outdoors thank you for the reply. I watched a few other videos and checked some message boards. It appears my bar lock was bent out of place. Bent it back and it appears to be working properly.

@@scott6590 Glad its working properly for you now. If you have any other issues or questions, please feel free to reach out again.

Thank you so much for the question and the reply. I bought a used 9000 years ago and had a love / hate relationship until I read this Q&A. My own fault for not looking into further. I was too busy with other things and pulled this out of storage to start reloading again. 👍👍

Yes, we have all the parts for these on our website at www.mecoutdoors.com and if you have any questions on the reloader or the parts, feel free to contact us: phone: 1-800-797-4632 or email: reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com

Hi Albert, Thank you for commenting. Question #1 Answer: The 9000GN is set for 2 ¾” only. There is a 3” kit but it is costly and takes around ½ hr to set up. Question #2 Answer: The best choice for reloading 2 ¾ , 3” and 3 ½” is the MEC Steelmaster #8755 along with a Short kit #8850. With this you can reload all 3 sizes in steel or lead just by changing the charge bar. If you have any further questions, please contact us directly by phone or email: 1-800-797-4632 or reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com

Yes, you will really enjoy the 9000GN! We are continuing to make them and fulfill our backorders since the demand is so high. Hopefully by the summer time you will be able to find one at a great price from one of our dealers like midway, ballistic products or bass pro. Thanks for commenting, have a great day and if you ever need any advice or help reloading, just send us an email to: reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com

@@MECOutdoors Thank you! That was what I am hoping for to get one by summer or fall. The more you make, the more we will buy!

Hi Clayton, On all MEC reloaders, the depth of the wad is controlled by raising or lowering the shot (rammer) tube #505B. If more wad pressure is needed then you would loosen the shot tube and lower it slightly. Normal loads with plastic wads do not require more than 25-30 lbs of wad pressure. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at 800-797-4632 or reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com.

Hi Olen, Thanks for commenting. The charge bar will only release when there is a shell present at the 2nd station that is ready to accept the powder charge. When there is no longer a shell in the 2nd station then the charge bar locks back up to the left so it does not drop powder and shot. If you have any further questions, please contact us at 1-800-797-4632 or email reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com

@@MECOutdoors thank you for the reply,very helpful!

@@MECOutdoors I just purchased the MEC900GN today, and I can tell you my powder released without a shell

@@Pennyg0785 Thanks for commenting. When there is a shell in station two it compresses the lower reprime spring up. This allows the trip rod to remain proud. If the trip rod is binding it will stick up higher in which, will release the bar lock resulting in a powder dump. When there isn’t a shell in station two the trip rod should become flush with the drop tube bracket when the handle is pulled down. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact us directly at reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com or 1-800-797-4632

The bar is pre drilled for the shot amount indicated on the side of the charge bar. The powder bushings regulate the amount of powder. Recipes can be found on the powder company’s websites. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact us directly at 1-800-797-4632 or reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com

Please email our Reloader Customer Service at reloadersales@mecoutdoors.com to assist you further. Thank you!

Yes but i think you have to adjust it
