Hello all,
I am loading some .410 on my MEC Sizemaster. I installed a brand new MEC 302-12 1/2oz. charge bar and am using #9 shot.
My problem is that when I move the charge bar to drop the shot the bar is getting jammed with the shot and is very difficult to move all the way to drop the complete shot load.
Inspection shows that the #9 shot is getting trapped ABOVE the shot bar and actually has damaged the plastic insert on the shot hole side (see picture). I have no idea why this is happening. Maybe the shot is just too fine/small in diameter? Makes no sense to me since this bar is capable of #9 shot.
Frustrating since this bar was on back order and took awhile to get. Any thoughts?
