a77ssii 0 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 OK, I have been reloading rifle/pistol ammo for about 7 years now and shotgun for about 15 and I have run upon a very unusual issue. I have run probably 15K+ rounds through my old Texan reloader with no issues at all. I was just given a MEC Jr in 12ga and ran a few through it every one has a flare at the top of the shell. It is enough to stop my Browning A-5 from feeding. I have adjusted the crimp from one extreme to another to no avail. Anyone out there dealt with this before? Could the MEC just be worn out or am I just not tweaking it correctly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
