Powder Check Problem
Quote from Reloader on December 31, 2011, 7:52 pmHowdy! I have been cranking out the rounds on my XL650 for about a month now, and I am very pleased with its performance. I am however, have some issues with the Dillon Powder Check Die.
When I load .45ACP I notice that after about 150 rounds, the buzzer is barely starting to activate, and then after about 175 rounds I am getting a full buzzer. It appears as though the powder check die is thinking that the charge is too light, however every time I weigh a charge that has been "buzzed" it is within 0.1 grain or more commonly dead on, with my intended charge throw. I reset the die by screwing the black portion up a few spins on the rod and I am good for another 150 rounds. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks
