Another great video and follow up to the first video. Thanks again!

Does it matter what type of powder or primer you use?

@jake66000

Yes, some powders are very fast-burning and others are slower-burning. I suggest using Red Dot or something similar.

Great videos! Best I've seen so far. I think I may have to get into shotgun reloading? How much does a machine like this cost? How much would a new guy expect to pay initially for everything to get started? Is reloading shotgun ammo cheaper and more cost effective than reloading handgun ammo? Thanks. I subbed.

I want to get a reloader real bad but thanks for giving me this knowledge before I get one.

These were two very informative videos. I load with a Mec 600 Jr and was looking at the progressive loaders so this is exactly what I needed to see. It was very clear with excellant operating instruction by example. You comments were to the point and covered everything one should know to operate the 9000. Thanks

Nicely presented well done.

Me i have a Jr600 but im not satisfied with the 2 stage crimp. Its quality is poor but i see yours is awesome!

@knsmaximo I too have a 600 jr, the two stage crimp station is supposed to me better. What does yours do that you dont care for? I have had nothing but good things with mine. I shoot about a case a week so I am upgrading to a 650 progressive because my friend rebuilds MEC reloaders. I can get one for 130 dollars and a trade

It comes out of the 2nd stage in bad quality. If i dont roll crimp the shotshell will be too thick on the top to fit the barrel chamber. I saw one guy had the 2nd stage a metallic punch and it had indeed better results.

Now i own a 9000G and its huge diffirence in the quality. The 600 im using it only for 3" 1/2 hulls only.

Though i had to remove the 6th stage from the 9000G because in europe we work a bit diffirent in that part!

Thank you very much for your two videos. They are concise to te point and show that you know what you are talking about. As a presonal advise would recommend you to place the camera on a tripodwhile operating the machine and on your hand when you want to point out a relevant step. You can also ask for a friend o hold the camera.

Tanks a lot.

You're very welcome. I appreciate your comment and advice. With a shortage of reloading tutorials and an increase in shooters who reload, I create my videos to help aid and educate beginners and to try to simplify and break-down the somewhat complex steps to a MEC 9000G progressive reloader. Please feel free to leave any suggestions for future videos.

Dear lipitation,

No, I have never had any double loads or anything similar. The 9000G a very reliable loader and that keeps errors to a very minimum, especially when loading mass quantities of shells. Any experienced reloader can load on this loader without any problem.

Any questions? Leave them as a comment to the video or a comment to my profile and I will return them as soon as possible.

Reloading on a 600 myself and I am concidering the 9000.

Have you ever had double charges or other severe malfunctions?
