The MEC Sizemaster 16 Gauge Single-Stage Reloading Press (MPN 812016) is a single-stage shotshell reloading press built by MEC Reloading for loading 16 Gauge shotshells from raw hulls, wads, shot, and powder. As a single-stage press, each of its six stations performs one operation at a time as the operator advances the hull manually, giving new reloaders a clear, controllable way to learn the shotshell reloading sequence. It’s the kind of press a high-volume trap, skeet, or waterfowl shooter runs to load large quantities of shells at a controlled, repeatable cost per box instead of buying factory ammunition. Reloaders pair it with the correct powder bushing and charge bar for their chosen load recipe to get a consistent, repeatable shotshell every cycle.

Key Specifications

• 16 Gauge gauge compatibility, sized for that specific hull diameter and length.
• Single-Stage press design, one operation per station for methodical, precise reloading.
