small powder bar

#1 · December 8, 2013, 4:48 pm

I was under the impression that the small powder bar can dispense 3-20 grains of powder. I can only get mine to drop a max of 13.4 grains. What am i doing wrong?

Different powders will have different min/max values for each bar. What powder are you using and for what type of case? Dillon/others can better guide you knowing what type of powder you are using.

I am using IMR 4227 for 357 mag.

Different powders have different densities. 4227 is a bulky powder. Some, such as Trailboss, are even bulkier. With Trailboss you need the large bar for charges over 5 grains.
