    Any one have experience loading 'not so new' .410's on a hydro-mec 9000? Work great in 12, 20, 28, but I'm a little concerned about the 'jiggle' factor with the little gun. (And yes, I understand that only loading once-fired is a possible solution, and I will gladly do so with all donations of CF/HS empties!) Thanks, Don P.

    The wiggle of hulls is not as bad as you think. If you are using the auto index, just go slow.

    I found the wiggle factor was eliminated by un hooking the auto indexer and index by hand.

    I load AACH 2 1/2" on a Mec 9000H and have no issues.

    I load 12, 20 and 28 using 8567 Grabbers on an Automate with no issues whatever. I gave up on the 410 and converted it back to a manual loader even after changing the shell carrier to the thicker after market carrier.

    I have a new after market (thicker) carrier that claims to solve that problem. I think they go for $50--I'll sell for $25 plus ship--glad to send a pic if you like.
