Thebaron's "Greatest shotgun reloading tip ever"

[thebaron]

Always remember to make sure the lid on the shot container is securely fastened before flipping the charge bar assembly over on your MEC 600. That is all.

I just spent the last countless hours picking up shot from god damned everywhere. "Take the afternoon off, it'll be fun you can go home and re-load" I thought... FML lol

It's bad with lead, worse with Bismuth and Nice Shot

I feel your pain.

 

[iceman2]

Been there ,done that.

 

[kamlooky]

#8 shot too I suppose?

 

[digitalblue]

That's why I've epoxied the cap onto the shot bottle; in my incident, the $hitty cap popped off when the charge bar assembly was flipped...

 

[Beater]

invent a lead magnet???

 

[BattleRife]

Ahh, the memories. I haven't figured out yet if carpet makes it better or worse.

 

[tigrr]

Thanks for that tip!

I swear ,every person who sets up a progressive shotshell loader should do it in an old bathtub with a cake pan under the drain spout because sooner or later you will have a spill.

 

[ss1980]

Yeah. The last time I did it, I used a vacuum cleaner. Much quicker.

Haven't done it yet with the shot bottle but i did manage to do it with the powder bottle, makes a guy feel real brilliant.

It does seem that this indeed is a rule without exception doesn't it?

I'm glad(kinda) that I'm not the only guy around here to have pulled that stunt,although in my case it was with a Lee Loadall.Pretty much the same effect though and yes I have spilled my share of shot too.I wish I had a tape recorder handy to catch some of the comments from my peanut gallery,not funny at the time but would be hilarious to play back.

7.5 close enough lol
I got most of it fell in between my bench and cabinet behind all the crap, you know, in the tightest most uncomfortable spot ever...

 

[kevin.303]

haven't done that yet, but i dont know how many times i've forgotten to close the drain valve on my Hornady digital powder dispenser. only to pour in a new powder and watch it run out the bottom all over the place.
