GregInAtl Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 For some reason my Dillon 550b has started intermittently not dropping powder charges, Any ideas what would be causing this or how to correct/prevent this. I am using Bullseye powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Have you emptied out the Powder Measure to be sure there is not something like a cockroach in it? (Someone told me that found a cockroach in their Powder Measure.) Other than that, have you checked the adustment nut on the bottom of the failsafe rod. With an empty Shellplate and the handle pushed all the way forward (like you are seating a primer), the nut should be adjusted so the spring is about halfway compressed.

Leadpilot Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Is your charge bar moving freely and fully articulating? Ive never experienced a bullseye clump...Possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Mitch Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 A few years ago a friend found a moth carcass in the powder bar of his powder measure. He was having similar issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
