universal charge bar or mec charge bars

[Pa SxS]

I've just replaced the UCB on my Mec 9000H. I've had it so long, I can't remember what year it was I bought it. It was varying the powder charge too much due to wear in the mechanism. Bought a new one and it's fine. Make sure you get the proper one for your machine.

Universal charge bars are the way to go. When you get the powder or shot to the right amount, keep a notebook with the settings written down. Next time you will save yourself a lot of trouble. And remember 1 oz. settings for 9s will not throw 1 oz. in 7 1/2. So they will always be different.

The bushings always throw a lighter charge than advertised. They make them lawyer proof this way. Also, most adjustable bars come with a powder baffle. You need the baffle to get consistent drops of powder.

Manually pushing on the bar has no effect because they have a set screw that has an allen head so you can lock it down.
