550b and 9mm
Quote from Reloader on April 26, 2009, 11:00 pmHello,
1st time loader. Started out loading 40sw with Unique powder. Took my time getting all set up and ran 20 test rounds. All fired and fed great so I ran off another 200. All great. Now switched to 9mm luger. Again took great pains to get set up right. Started with 25 rds and tested...all shot fine. Went back to start a run of 200 and am having a lot of trouble with powder load. Powder (Unique still) does not all seem to flow out of the powder funnel all the time. Some is getting stuck inside, and on the way down, it then falls out all over. Shells are not full in this case and powder all over machine. Other times it does not spill out of funnel, but some powder hangs in funnel, and overcharges the next one. I resolved for now by on the way down on each shell, I have been flicking the funnel up and down to clear it as soon as it clears the shell on each one to ensure it is empty, but not a real solution. What is causing the 9mm funnel to not completely empty as it did perfectly when running the 40SW? This way is a real pain.
Thanks,
Craig
