Shotgun:

-Winchester Powder metal caps fit MEC Powder/ Shot bottles.

-Malto-Meal, Farina, Cream of Wheat or Instant Grits for buffering shot instead of buying buffering compounds such as Grex [tm] [Follow all rules in measuring total payload.

-Take a MEC Powder/Shot bottle to Mom & Pop hardware store, get an old fashion cork stopper to fit "bottom" - red caps "get lost" and those replacement caps get "loster".

-Tape the Allen Wrench to fit MEC on the loading handle , electrical tape works best.

Each Reloader gets an Allen wrench , and each one gets put back [slips back into electrical tape] after adjusting Cam, etc.
Murphy will find something else to lose, or misplace, but not them Allen Wrenches.

-Dental Picks : keep one with MEC 9000s and similar using that collet resizer
Electrical Tape
