8567N Grabber Shot Shell Press 20 Gauge

The MEC Reloading 8567N Grabber Shot Shell Press for 20 Gauge is a progressive reloading press designed to turn out finished shells fast—ten different operations at six stations, completed with every pull of the handle. If you reload 20-gauge ammunition in volume, this press delivers the speed and consistency that serious handloaders demand, without the complexity of manually cycling through separate stages.

Built around the Grabber's trademark efficiency, this 20-gauge press handles both high and low base shells and includes a fully automatic primer feed that keeps your rhythm steady. The three-stage crimp system closes the shell with precision, and the "Power Ring" resizer ensures each case is sized correctly for reliable performance in your shotgun. All you do is supply the wads and casings; the press handles the work.

The 8567N comes loaded with three powder bushings optimized for 20-gauge loads, so you can dial in your charge weights right out of the box. If your reloading plans evolve—say, you decide to load 3-inch magnum shells or experiment with steel shot—MEC offers optional conversion kits to expand what this press can do. This is a single-gauge press, however; converting to different gauges requires separate die sets, not just a kit swap.

Whether you're a 20-gauge upland hunter who shoots enough to justify reloading, or a clay target shooter looking to cut ammunition costs without sacrificing quality, the Grabber delivers the throughput and dependability that make handloading worthwhile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the 8567N Grabber to reload other gauges besides 20 gauge?

The 8567N is dedicated to 20 gauge and cannot be converted to other gauges with a simple kit—separate die sets are required for 12, 16, 28 gauge, or .410 bore. If you reload multiple gauges, you'd need individual presses for each.

Does this press work with 3-inch magnum shells?

The 8567N is designed for standard 20-gauge shells. MEC offers an optional conversion kit that allows you to reload 3-inch magnum shells, so you can adapt the press if your needs change.

What's included with the 8567N?

The press comes with three powder bushings sized for 20-gauge loads. You'll need to supply casings, primers, powder, wads, and shot to begin reloading.

Can I load steel shot with this press?

An optional steel shot conversion kit is available from MEC if you want to reload steel ammunition, though it is not included with the standard 8567N.
