Default Instructions for a Mec Universal Charge bar

Anyone have instructions how to set the mec universal charge bar. I have a grabber with one and would appreciate the instruction how to set it.

David,
I use the universal bars on all my machines. I have instructions and will copy and send them to you if you wish (send me an email). However, I have found the approximate settings in the instructions to be unnecessary. Essentially, with a good scale, you measure the output of the shot and/or powder and make adjustments on the end dials. Once where you want it, tighten the set screw. No magic to it. The numbers on the dial are a basic reference when making adjustments.

Best

Thanks Dean, I am going to get a scale and make the adjustments as you suggest.

Also get a notebook and record the settings for the various powders and different grain amounts dropped. It saves you a lot of adjusting later. But still check a couple of times the next time you set it for it may vary from one time to another.
