I have a family friend that wants to sell a bunch of reloading gear. I've been thinking about getting into shotshell reloading, but know nothing about it. I've been handloading on a rock chucker and 550b for a little over a decade. I believe based on website pictures his presses are the 9000GN, but am not sure. One is a 28 guage, and the other is a 12. Thought I would throw the pictures up and make sure before I make him an offer. (THIS IS NOT A SALES AD!). If these are quality units, I want to make him a fair offer (I don't want to stiff him, but don't want to overpay either). Any help / opinions are appreciated.
12 Gauge 
28 Gauge 
Piston that is on both (thought it was the model number until I realized both said the same thing

They are Grabbers, but they might be the old part number version. The base will be marked.
Offer $125 each, go to about $140. I would pass at higher prices. I have one old model 12 gauge and a 20 and 28 gauge with the newer part numbers. If you shoot 28 gauge, this is an economical way to go. I recommend Longshot due to its density, I had terrible crimp problems with bulkier powders. |

I've have a grabber and a 9000g. With the pistons that's a 9000G as far as I've ever seen. The old grabbers were manual indexed.
The 9000G is basically a grabber with a piston (G) or set up for hydraulics (H). Not a cheap press. I think the prices may be low for a 9000G but then again used shot gun presses with shot so expensive it doesn't pay to reload, buy promo shells instead. There seem to be a lot of shot shell presses on the market and not moving all that well. There are 4 on the bulletin board at my club now. |
