    MEC loader

    I don't have one, I'm not selling or buying one, but I am pricing one for a family member (death in family).
    It's a MEC 762R .410 loader. I can't find a price online.
    I'm not sure of its condition (I've never seen it), but let's say it's good.

    An older grabber in 410 would be welcome on my bench , I'd move my single stage over real quick .
    Check ebay , but remember asking & selling price is sometimes quite a bit different .

    410 mecs are pretty highly sought after, if it is complete it is good machine and will produce great ammo. just because its old doesn't mean its no good, that's been my experience, I've got 1/2 dozen mecs, old and new and they all work great.

    It's a progressive press with manual advance, I have several and they make good shells.

    Ill take a guess I checked eBay depending on condition I'd say 150-250 if it's all there and in working condition .
    More if you find the right person / less if you don't .
    I think the difference between the older grabber and the newest is sizing of the hull + sub-gauges usually are more in demand .
    That's my honest opinion ?????????

    I'm going with toalmy. Take a chance on the open market. If it's cleaned up and functional, it's worth some chips. (Sold a Lee Loader 410 for $200 recently).

    It's one of those family situations. I have no say, but I'm checking to make sure that the "expert" that's pricing stuff is on track, especially with the firearms. There's a rusty, dirty barrel that I'm pretty sure is a Weatherby but the "knowledgeable" guy told them it's probably worthless - just toss it. Maybe he's right but I'd like to be sure.

    Ooh boy, that cleaned up and functional statement I made earlier.....may pose a problem.

    I bought a 9000 in 410 this past year. It was $400 shipped. Yours ought to be in the $300-350 range depending on condition.

    I've had a friend saying he will bring me .410 dies for my Pacific press for three years but it hasn't shown up. I might buy it if I have enough. I don't have much these days the cancer takes those dollars faster than I can make them.
