Loading with IMR4064
Quote from Reloader on November 9, 2009, 1:18 pmI'm going to be loading .308 and am wondering if i'm going to have issues with the dillon powder measure using IMR4064 I'll be loading 44gn as a starting point. If it will be a problem is there a remedy that doesn't req. differant powder.

Be sure to pull the handle down slowly, so that it takes at least one full second to move the powder bar from one side to the other. Next, start with the powder hopper at least 2/3 full, throw 10 or so charges and dump them back before beginning to weigh charges.
