Just set up my new MEC 9000 and am wondering how to get it started in progressive mode without making a mess. I’m a long time metallic progressive loader, so I understand the process. I’m struggling getting it started and stopped without making a mess of powder and shot. With my Hornady LnL AP, it will not drop powder if there is no case in the drop station, not so with the MEC.
My work around is to put an empty dummy case in station 2 & 3 to catch powder and shot until the real case comes around from station 1. Now the process flows nicely until I’m at the last shell I want to load is in station 3, then I have to put the dummy case in station 2 and then station 3 repeatedly until the last round clears stations 4, 5 & 6.
I hope this makes senses. Is this the way it’s done or am I missing something? I’ve read the entire User guide as well as Lyman#5.
Thanks,
Craig
