Can I get a little help with MEC shotshell reloader?

[Adam Gibbs]

I have these two loaders. I think the one on the left is for 20ga and the right is for 12. But that's as much as I know about them. It appears the 20 is missing some thing that the 12 has, like the primer tray and the bushing for what I think is the priming station?

Can someone tell me what model MECs I have here? Any other components I'm missing off the press?

I have never loaded shot shells. Any good youtube channels to learn from? I know it's a uphill battle finding components but that is what it is. I just want to have the ability and knowledge to eventually be able to do this.

MEC is a great company for customer support. Look at their videos and online parts and operating manuals....call them for help if necessary. The presses are single stage units but I am not sure of the model number. And yes, they both should have a primer tray unless you want to manually place each primer prior to seating. Likely that you could switch the primer tray from unit to unit, but if the single stage presses are like my 9000G progressive MEC presses, they take some tuning/tweaking to get the primer fall correct....and I would not want to do that every time I went from 20 ga to 12 ga, etc. It would be best to have each fully set up. Good luck loading, and hope you can find components. Follow the online recipes exactly for the case, primer, wad and shot weight you select. You need a powder scale to verify how much powder the selected bushing drops, as the online charts are never accurate.

Looks like Sizemaster or 600 jr.
