Loaded 50 rounds of 12 gauge 8 shot. Still on that hard learning curve wondering if there is a machine that decaps shotshell seperate from the Mec grabber. That station seems to be the bane of my existence currently
I’ve never owned or used a Grabber but have never had a problem decapping on any of the other MEC’s I’ve had. Can you explain what it‘s doing or not doing?Loaded 50 rounds of 12 gauge 8 shot.

Sorted a 5 gallon pail of miscellaneous brass. Had a lot of 22 and aluminum cases and a few steel cases but ended up with over 5,000 9mm and significant amounts of .40 S&W and 45 acp. Was surprised at how many 38 and 357 cases were in the bucket. I guess not everyone reloads and sees the value in empty brass.
I’ll try my best. When I go to deprime, pull down the Handel, about every 7-8 rounds the little tube that slides up and down inside the collet to lower/raise the shell will push down in actually get itself wedged in between the forks of the shell lifter bracket. I end up having to take a bar and pry it up to get the shell lifter free.I’ve never owned or used a Grabber but have never had a problem decapping on any of the other MEC’s I’ve had.

I use this tool in both small and large primer pocket gauges. I usually find 6 or 8 pieces out of 500 from range pickup brass that get culled and thrown out for being too tight or not enough depth. I use the gauges after cleaning brass (I deprime and SS pin wet tumble) during my inspection process. I mainly do it to keep my progressive press running smoothly.Primed 700 .38 Spl and 400 .357 Mag, today.
All primed with Ginex SPP.
Observations:
Heard much discussion of Ginex being slightly larger. Did not experience that, except, Hornady, S&B, and Perfecta brass was very tight. Hornady was the worst.
Win, Fed, R-P and others could tell no difference than other primers.
Thinking I may order a set of Go, NoGo primer pocket pins.
