Shot bridging on a MEC is not unique, it can happen with any manufacturer’s machine.
There is only ONE fairly certain way of loading larger shot, (7-1/2), in a .410 machine that works with any consistency.
1) Polish the inside of the drop tube.
2) Make sure your shot is well graphite'd. Add graphite to the shot if necessary, before attempting to load it. Make sure the shot is well coated, but don't over-do it.
3) Raise the drop tube to approx. 1/2 inch below the mouth of the hull, when dropping the shot. (This is an important step).
Do these things and you will have fairly consistent success.
