I have the metal one on mine. Does a good job with consistency

 

[Goober]

Have had no problems with the first one pictured. The only thing is I have to keep checking that its tight. Has a tendency to unscrew over time.

I don't use any of that stuff and have no problem with metering. I just use the tall bottle for shot and powder. Mec makes a bracket to support the two. I've found the extra weight of powder makes the metering work just fine. Which " better " reloaders come with baffles from the factory ? I ain't ,reloading pistol or rifle, so the Mec leaves nothing to be desired. JMHO

Switch the bottles around from time to time and the “static cling” goes away too. May be the tiny amount of graphite left behind on the inside of the shot bottle.

Sorry to appear dense, but do you mean switch the powder and shot bottles, or have a spare pair to rotate in and out?

Switch them. Use the large “shot” bottles for both. The larger bottle holds more powder and if you refill it every time you fill the shot bottle your powder drops are a LOT more even. When you first use the larger bottles switch the shot bottle over to the powder side. Then once a season switch them around again. Or not.

I use the large bottle for powder and the small for shot. I noticed right away the consistency improved and I don't like that much shot wiggling around above me when I'm loading.

I have a couple old bottles with the baffle built in like the second pic. Seem to work well for me.

I put the bottle brace on mine. And the universal bar. Don’t have to manipulate the bottles much.

Geez, , I sure misundersttod that suggestion. No wonder my shells have shot underneath the wad and powder in the shot cup.

i was ordering parts from Mec a couple years ago and i asked about a baffle and was told if Mec wanted you to use one it would of come with the machine

 

[claybrdr]

Funny how the manufacturer (MEC) doesn't recommend a baffle)! Their word is good enough for me...

 

[ExFedex]

I have used the so-called MEC metal baffle with an adjustable so-called MEC shot/powder bar for many years and have no problems with drop accuracy. My Grabber is grounded and used inside my home.

 

[Maximoto1]

I have never used a baffle on my Mec loaders, and haven't had any problems. I fill the powder bottle before it gets within an inch from the bottom.

 

[Bassman13]

I've been using the red PC baffle for years with great results. I saw somewhere that someone had the details on how to make one on a 3D printer.

I'm very interested in this because I get anywhere from 16.9 to 17.3 from my Automate. When I start using the large bottle for powder, should I get rid of my pot metal powder baffle? Thank you for your help.

 

[Shotgunbutch]

I cut a strip of clothes drier cloth. Hang it in the bottle from the hole in the center.
This got rid of the static and my powder drops evened out.
Used this for 30 years.

Yes. But. What powder are you using? And are you hesitating at the bottom of the cycle for a heartbeat? You need the brass concave washer and the rubber grommet.

I am using 700X, although I am down to about 3 pounds. Next loads will be made with Ramshot Competition. And I actually haven't thought about any hesitation. I'll pay more attention. Should I hesitate or not? And yes, the brass washer and rubber grommet are installed. Thanks for the help.
