Brand new MEC 9000 progressive press in 28 gauge. I'm loading once fired Remington STS hulls with 3/4 ounce of West Coast #8 shot that's bright and not oxidized nor tarnished. Alliant 20/28 powder and Claybuster 5034-HS wads.
I'm having trouble with shot bridging in the shot/ram tube on station #3. Probably 1 of 4 shells, the shot will hang up in the tube ..... some shot drops into the wad but the rest will hang up and falls later when the shell indexes to station #4. The shot tube is clear, no obstructions. A friend suggested putting a teaspoon of talcum powder in the shot canister and shaking to coat all the pellets, but that didn't help.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
