The Mec 600 Slugger 12 gauge press is a dedicated single-stage shotshell reloader built for hunters and home-defense shooters who want to reload rifled or sabot slugs without the hassle of piecing together a setup from other equipment. Unlike presses that demand a separate vice, drill press, hand drill, or spinners, the 600 Slugger is self-contained and ready to work right out of the box—just clamp it to your reloading bench and start pulling the handle.
Built on the proven platform of the MEC 600 Jr Mark V (one of the world's best-selling shotshell reloaders), the 600 Slugger brings serious engineering to slug reloading. Its defining feature is the ability to fold plastic into the shell to create a roll-crimp finish using MEC's custom dies, giving your reloads a factory appearance and reliable performance. The press handles both 2.75" and 3" shells, so you're covered for most 12-gauge loads. Reload speed is respectable too: expect 100 to 125 rounds per hour depending on your powder charge and primer selection—faster than bench pressing one by one, yet deliberate enough to keep quality tight.
This is a press for shooters who know what they want: clean, consistent slug loads for hunting or defensive carry, without complexity or compromise. If you're tired of paying retail for factory slugs or want loads tailored to your shotgun and barrel, the 600 Slugger eliminates excuses and gets to work.
