Mec Reloader Problem

[Gary Laudermilch]

I am using a Mec 9000G and have had a problem with the brass powder washer slipping out of position and as a result causing light powder drops. I am not using a powder baffle. For the life of me I cannot figure out why it is happening. Problem is that there is no way to detect when it occurs and because of that unknown there could be thousands of shells with light charges. A call to Mec did not yield any real solution other than to replace the washer.

Anybody else experience similar problems? The fix/solution? Mec advised in rather strong words not to use a powder baffle.
