| shot my win 37 16 ga for the first time to pattern it, and it would not eject, had to push the empty out with a cleaning rod. tried loading a new round and noticed it would not drop in, needed a push, tried several other rounds, same problem, so can I just use emery cloth and drill to polish it or what works best? |

Likely just needs years of plastic and wax residue removed. Place a wrap of 000 steel wool over a bronze brush and screw onto section of cleaning rod. Chuck the rod into a cordless drill and dampen the "mop" with solvent. Polish the chamber for about 10 to 15 minutes. No material will be removed just the old build up. After this treatment I imagine the gun will be fine.

The Lee press is just not up to resizing the steel heads of the new shells. My best bet would be stick to the Mec loaded ammo. There is nothing wrong with your gun. Seems new ammo of certain types doesn't work well with older guns. You could also use the mec just for the depriming, resizing stage and then move to the Lee to finish the cartridge.

| Get you a MEC Super Sizer and run the shells through it. |
