I'm having trouble with the rubber washer under the shot tube. It keeps getting frayed and that makes the shot bar hang up. Is anybody else having this problem????? Thanks

Not having any problems...I would bet there's a burr somewhere on the charge bar.
I use the MEC loaders - not the Hornady - but I called a buddy ...and he says he doesn't really have an issue with those washers / seals ....but he keeps a few on hand to replace them as needed / or once a year or so ...and he reloads about 500 boxes a year ( or about 12,500 shells ).
If you're tearing up those seals more often than that - I'd suggest you give Hornady a call - and see if they have a recommendation --- but I suspect its a burr or something wearing that is causing those seals/washers to start chafing and then hang things up.
I replace the seals on the shot side of my MEC charge bars too about once a year or so / or whenever they start looking real nasty / and I just buy a bag of them ( I think they come 10 to a bag and one of my buddies and I share them ) ... and I put at least 500 boxes a year thru each of my loaders / maybe more on the 20ga and 28ga loaders ...and I just replace them once in a while / no big deal - at least on the MEC 9000 HN's ....
My buddy likes his Hornady shotshell loader ...so don't give up on it ...

Like BigJim, I've got MEC's not a Hornady; but, the basic principal is pretty much the same. MEC has a part "brass washer" #304W that goes between powder bottle grommet and the charge bar in their loaders. Using this washer on the shot side of your H366 might cure your problem.
