Powder spilling
Quote from Reloader on May 20, 2012, 2:12 pmI have changed my set up from pistol to rifle (.223) and am getting powder spilling all over. It spills when the handle is about half way back up and the case is well out of the powder funnel. I have set and reset the movement of the powder bar with no success. Only a few grains of powder actually gets dropped in the case and the rest all over the bench.
Suggestions please.

Quote from Reloader on May 21, 2012, 2:38 pm8208 XBR appears to be a short-grain extruded powder. Pull the handle slower, so it takes at least one full second to move the powder bar to the full travel. This should allow the powder to drop without the logjamming you are experiencing.
