This ensures that the powder bar is always fully actuated, regardless of any minor variations in case length. Next, be sure the blue wing nut at the bottom of the failsafe return rod is tight enough to ensure this rod fully retracts the powder bar at the end of the upstroke. The best method of adjusting this is to push forward on the handle, as if seating a primer, and while the handle is forward, tighten the blue wing nut until the coil spring above it is partially compressed.
Be sure to start with the powder hopper at least 2/3 full, and throw and return 10 powder charges before you begin weighing. Your powder scale is only accurate to +/- .1 grain, unless you are using an actual laboratory scale. Don't fret over a .1 grain powder variation.
