Daryl,
You are correct, and I have several for 600 JRs. But I have many MECs accumulated over the years and leave them set up for a specific load and mark that on the plywood base. So I just use the bars that come with the loaders and adjust them so they throw the correct amount of powder by changing bushings but the shot holes need to be adjusted to get the correct amounts. I have five 9000 machines and the adjustable bars at about $60 each are just a wasted expense for bars that I don't change.
I started this thread as a warning to the person who gets a MEC out of the box, and while they drop the right amount of powder for the load they want since they weigh it and change bushings, they should be aware that the shot side almost never drops even close to what they want as the payload, which results in the recommended wad not being the right depth and probably a pretty fast, maybe excessive pressure, load since most people don't test them.
