I found this site because I was having similar issues that I’ve since fixed, thank you for the comments and wealth of knowledge and experience. My issue was caused by the bellcrank bolt being a bit loose allowing the powder measure to drop under its own weight the second was an issue with the fail safe rod. The end of the rod was not bent properly from the factory and would begin pulling the bellcrank down before the rod reached the bottom of the slot. This caused the bellcrank to pull the powder measure down prior to pulling the locking bar clear of the powder measure. I bent the end of the fail safe rod so that it would pass through the hole in the locking bar and slot in the bellcrank at a 90 degree angle, eliminating the binding. Now it clears the locking bar from the powder measure before engaging the bell crank and pulling the powder measure down.
