wwillson Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 All,I've been reloading with Hodgdon Titewad on my MEC Sizemaster. I get quite a bit of powder flakes 'leaking' from the charge bar area when reloading. I have a brass washer that does help with the leaking, but it doesn't stop it by any means. When I reload with Clays and Universal Clays I don't have this problem.Thanks,Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkie_Lefty Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Most tightwads only leak after they get really old,,,then it's more of an after dribble Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Update:Thinking that the brass washer/scraper would be better than the rubber grommet, I hadn't even tried the grommet. I did today and it works much better with the fine powder than the brass washer.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Wayne,If you get a MEC powder baffle, it eliminates the brass washer and rubber grommet. I have them on all my MEC's and it really works even with Winchester 296. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Moe,I believe the MEC powder baffle has a spring loaded plastic seal that always pushes on the charge bar? I did have mine installed, but still had problems with the Titewad leaking. When I used the powder baffle with the rubber grommet, most of the leaking stopped.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
