MEC 9001HN 12 Gauge Hydraulic Press

The MEC 9001HN 12 Gauge Hydraulic Press (MPN 9001HN12) is a hydraulic-assist shotshell reloading press built by MEC Reloading for loading 12 Gauge shotshells from raw hulls, wads, shot, and powder. This variant ships without the P&H (primer and hull feed) attachment, so hulls and primers are indexed and fed manually while the hydraulic assist takes the physical effort out of the resizing and crimping strokes on high-volume runs. 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

• 12 Gauge gauge compatibility, sized for that specific hull diameter and length.
• Hydraulic Assist operation, reducing the hand force needed on resizing and crimping strokes during long reloading sessions.
• Without P&H configuration, meaning primers and hulls are indexed manually rather than through an automatic feed attachment.

Frequently Asked Questions
