MEC Marksman

[Silverado1]

Anyone have any experience with one of these? Maybe at little pricey but I think I may try one.

I have one and really like it. I see it as a budget Co-Ax press. I get great leverage, I like the floating shellholder for everything except using it with my universal decapper. Otherwise I don't have any issues.

Thanks for the feedback, it seems to be well liked by most that have one.

I have had one for about a month, in that time I’ve resized about 500 pieces of brass and loaded a couple hundred rounds. It has been great so far.

i like mine a lot. It replaced a Redding Big Boss II. I find the MEC more user friendly and less effort required in re-sizing brass.

Sorry if this thread is a little old, but I have been looking into a marksman and was curious if it would work with the inline fabrication workbase/riser below?

Raise your work to the height you want, when you want, then drop it back down in about 20 seconds....

Yes, they are press specific when you order. I have one on mine.

Sure, I understand that the quick change base plate is press specific. I was more concerned with the clearance between the MEC and the workbase. The MEC appears to have a depriming system that is on the back side of the press.

no issues, it is integral to press. Had mine for a while now. I swap between the 550 and the MEC, no issues.
