Powder Measurement with a MEC

[Bill Murphy]

Are we referring to the metal baffles at the bottom of the reservoir? I have never seen a powder tube that doesn't have one of those installed.

That's the one I use. I also have the red plastic one with the spring loaded seat and they work just fine. I've found that no matter what you use the key to consistent drops is dependent on the vibration of the machine and the dwell, hesitation for lack of a better term, on the powder drop and the methodical rhythm of the loading process. I hope I got that point across. I shoot with a fellow who will, out of any 100 round, have at least 3 or more bloopers. I suggested that he follow my method and now he is down to almost zero problems.

PW tubes and MEC bottles are not one in the same . PW always put a baffle in both tubes when they were straight . Now that PW has gone to a more bottle looking thing I dunno if they still have baffles .
