powder adjustment
Quote from Reloader on August 15, 2012, 3:40 amI am still new to the world of reloading and man its super fun. I am just wondering its normal to have to readjust the powder nob on the measure slide. it seems like after 50 rounds I need to readjust a little is this normal???? now when I say I need to adjust the powder I mean it seems to creep up by .2 grains.

Be sure you ae flaring the case mouth at least .010" larger than a sized, unflared case, and that the blue wing nut on the failsafe rod is tight enough to consistantly pull the powder bar back comeletely. At the end of the upstroke, when you push the handle forward to seat a primer, the coil spring above the blue wingnut should be partially compressed.
Check the tension of the bowed washer on the adjusting bolt also. It should be possible, but difficult to turn the powder bar bolt by hand. If it turns easily with your fingers, contact us for a second bowed washer.

Make sure the change is not from the powder either settling or just from the change in the amount of powder left while loading, don't let the hopper get real low. Depending on the type of powder you're using, +/- one tenth isn't bad.
