I put a cookie sheet with lips on it under the loader. It captures all of my screw-ups

Chuck and all. The tip I got from MEC in the similar situation in 20 ga. was to add a little baby powder. It goes in every ga. now.

John thats a great idea. Did you bolt the the press and the cookie sheet directly to the bench?

I'm just going to use that bag in the 9000 12ga., no problem doing that. I did have bridgeing problems in the 12ga loader when I used 100% reclaimed shot. Now I mix it with new shot and no problem. I did use powered graphite in the 28ga loader, it helped but not completly.

I'll bet the shot can still bounce out of the cookie tray if it's not real big. I think I'll put a thin rubber mat like you would put in your tool chest in the tray. That should dampen the bounceing shot. I could probably lift the mat up and dump the contents into a container.

Another trick I use to separate the spilled powder and shot when they are combined is to use a wire mesh kitchen strainer. The powder will sift through but not the shot. Just let the wife know you borrowed it
