    Has anyone got a spare they would like to sell, and do a Face to Face sale in Southeastern, Ohio?

    Question is why do I have a resizing problem in the Loader MEC Model 8567, It is adjusted to max resizing now, I can see the rim is thicker and the Brass has a bulge near the base, The Mec Super Sizer Corrects this.

    Hi Doc ,I don't have one but was wondering if you can help me . I just retired and got back to reloading after 35 years, took out the old 310MEC (maybe 50 years old) always made great trap loads( FEDERAL paper And FEDERAL plastic) .I never used the starter crimp 40 years ago hulls were softer, I guess. and they came out great.Now I'm loading Wins. AA. Can't get a good crimp. Got a new starter crimp ,works ok, wish I had an original with a guide (8 point).I can't get that rim around the crimp the way it should be ,the crimp is good and tight I have played with the final crimp to no avail. can you help???

    Dr. Longshot if the 8567 is the MEC Hustler (?) I've had the same problem. I've noted that the resize collet shoulder is shorter than the standard grabber resize collet. MEC Co.was little help. Replacing with the grabber resize collet..The collar that slides over the resizing collet is also different than the grabber ? Grabber resize station might be an upgrade over the 8567.

    I just happened to talk to MEC about the resizing collet on my Grabber 762 (28 ga).

    The MEC employee told me the collet for the 12 ga. is no longer available from them. You might want to confirm with MEC.

    I was told the same as Amboy by a Mec technician in early 2019, at the time there were a few in stock so I bought a collet for my 76 series grabber.
    There is an upgrade kit that includes new style collet and collet closing ring.
