[Dillon 550 spilling powder]

Be sure the powder bar is moving ALL the way over on the downstroke of the handle. The powder bar should be completely over to the other side well before the handle bottoms out. Cases should be flared at least .010".

Should I be using the large or small bar? It been suggested that I should be using the large bar. The instructions call for the small with charges of 3-20 grains; I'm using 6 grains.

I'll check the bar movement and flare tomorrow.

Thanks,

Gary

[Dillon 550 spilling powder]

I'm using a Dillon 550 to reload my .45 colt. I'm using 6gr of Trail boss powder. My problem is that after charging each load I have extra powder coming out of the powder die/measure. I check the powder that actually makes it into the case and it's correct and consistent. Is this powder spilling common, or is there an adjustment to make?

Thanks,

Stump
