rdinga Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 When using very fine grain powder like Ram Shot Tac or ball powder like WST I get little drips of powder leaking out. Very consistent throws and the measure never moves. I keep an air compressor near by and blow off the debris whenever I reload a new tube of primers. Would a shot of penicillin make a difference?

9x45 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Take it all apart, wipe off the charging bar, and clean the plastic tube with dryer sheets. I run BE-86 on my 550 and it is finer than corn sugar, no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Where is it leaking from? I use Tac with no issues, except I do it on a 550 and I'm too enthusiastic with manual index I can get powder to jump out of the case. The powder measure itself doesn't seem to drip, on the other hand I have "recently" (last year) upgraded some of the internals and I'm using uniquetek micrometer adjustable insert for the powder bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Mitch Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 You can make a gasket for the powder bar out of scotch tape. Seems like there is a thread on here about that. I did it on my 550 and it was perfect. Needed two layers. You want the powder bar to slide freely, so don't over do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
