It's kind of cold here today so I thought I'd just run a few boxes thru the Mec 9000. All goes well for awhile powder drop weighs out right shot weight good, too.
I have my routine watch the primer drop, check the bar goes across, and back, visually check and insert next hull, next wad and check shot drop.
No shot? I tip the bottles back and the drop tube is full push it out into a shot glass and there's a piece of blue plastic about the size of a primer in the drop tube. Hummm must have been in the last wad. I checked last loaded shell all is good. It must have come from a gate on the wad mold and been inside the wad so back to loading. It happened again what a flucky thing. This adds one more step to reloading to look in each wad. Doesn't really slow me down compared to what a stoppage of a plugged drop tube does. Went thu the rest of the bag and there was one more blue scrap piece. Never had this happen before.Anybody else ever?
