    Starting to reload AA 20 Ga shells 7/8 oz, using Win 572 powder with CB1078 wads. Having a problem with the height of components being slightly two low. Has anyone used this combination successfully?

    I have with no issues. Once adjusted starter crimp and cam on final crimp they look factory

    Are you loading on a mec 600. If you are crushing shells raise cam on final crimp. There is a great video on final crimp adjustments on YouTube.

    Using MEC 9000. Not crushing shells, the middle is just dished in too much. My need to check that I am not pushing too hard down on the wad. It just don't seem that when it drops the shot that it comes up as high as it should. I have done a lot of reloading with my 12 ga 9000, but just set up this used 20 ga. reloader
