I just switched over to 223 and got everything readjusted and the powder drop spills powder on every drop. I know my depth it correct and I'm just about frustrated.
Any ideas on what's going on? |

You might have to spray some silicone based dry lube inside the powder measure.
I had issues with my LnL powder measure sticking with H110 a while back and spilling powder everywhere. Take it apart and give everything a coat of dry lube (silicone based) and I bet your problem goes away. |

Quoted:
Remember you have to give the powder time to enter the case before you cycle the press. Especially a long extruded powder like Varget. I was giving it more than enough time. I tore it apart and cleaned it, but my frustration led me to Maker's 46. I'll restart tomorrow. I think I might not have dried the inside after I cleaned it. |

Try giving your measure a tap with your hand when it is the process of dropping the powder into the case... knock loose the stuff it's spilling before you remove the case from the powder die. have you tried using an old dryer sheet to remove static which can cause bridging? edit to add: Folks laugh about it here... but a small 'personal pleasure device' i.e. vibrator can be strapped to your powder hopper and left running as you load... completely eliminated any powder bridging I've seen with stick / extruded powders on my Dillon measure. |
