78Staff Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Accurrate powders are typically very fine, I had same issue with No 9, and have seen it reported for No 7 as well... one reason I stopped using them. I don't know that there is a fix, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeric Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Google tape dillon powder measure. (basically, add enough layers of tape to the spacer bar so the powder bar doesn't have enough vertical slop to let powder leak out.) I had to do it to a brand new powder measure that come with my 650. The old square deal powder measure didn't have that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accu9 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 You can also look into the Arredondo plastic powder drop slide bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikieM Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Cracked hoppers will sometimes leak, yes, but if you are my age what doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
