jarjar Member Posts: 620 ✭✭✭
I have been reloading for about a year now have been useing a worn out mec 9000. I am looking to buy a new loader, have been thinking of a 336 honady or just a new mec. I dont load a whole lot but my son and I go thru some shells. any sugestions? thanks to all that reply.

    You can't go wrong sticking with MEC. No experience with Hornady except for an OLD DL-105 30 years ago.

    While I have and use a Lee Loadmaster II, I'd avoid it; it leaks powder, is hard to empty the remaingin powder/shot, and occasionally crimps off center. That said, it DOES produce functioning shells, good enough for just fun shooting.

    I've been using a MEC Sizemaster for years. I've been well pleased with it. I load a box of shells in about 7 minutes with no rush. It's held up well. I'd buy another one.

    stay away from the mec 9000 the talk at the trap club is that they are very inconsistant. a lot of poofs. ive been loading on a 366 for 30 + years and works ok. if i had my way there would be a new ponsness warren on the bench thow. http://www.reloaders.com/

    a spolar is also good.

    sorry cant find the linkl for ats

    the 366 is not user friendly like some of the machines...if you operate the handle with no hull in place,i'ts cleanup time.ugh.
    I"ve seen the rcbs Grand in action,and it sure looked good.

    there is nothing wrong with the mecs the poofs are coming for the componets the people at the trap club are using. I use a mec and i love it i havn't had a problem yet
