gmshooter Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Loading .300Blk on a Dillion 550 and bringing the handle on the upstroke I am getting powder spillage coming from the powder bar. The case has already come off the powder funnel and powder falls on shellplate, i am using W-296 and the powder is coming from inside the die. Any suggestions. i have broken down everything and it looks ok. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 sounds like you need to pause longer for all the powder to drop in the case. Or it may be bridging at the neck. maybe flick the case a few times to shake powder loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmshooter Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 I did pause and the case is probably 1/2" below the funnel when this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmshooter Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 High but that is not causing it. Probably going to have to film and post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Maybe polish the inside of the funnel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Be sure the powder bar is going all the way over? Edited March 31, 2017 by dillon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Are you using the correct powder funnel for 300BLK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uboofer Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I would also ground your press. Helps with static electricity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmshooter Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 I swapped powder funnels and it has corrected the problem. I will check the powder bar to see what is going on. Thanks for all the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
