300 AAC and Powder Drop
Quote from Reloader on January 21, 2015, 11:20 pmI am loading 300 blackout with the 650. I changed from the AK powder funnel to the powder funnel "C". I switched to the powder funnel "C" because of powder dropping out of the case. When the case falls under the second station the case is fine. I set the mouth flare to about .001. Occasionally I get a bent case mouth. I know this is from the powder funnel because I can feel it and the damage is apparent. I have adjusted the adjustable arm to push the case further in the shell holder. Is there a fix for the mouth cases being crushed? Do I have something out of adjustment?
