Powder spillage

[Acsr]

Hey all i have a 1050, i loaf aa#7 which is a very fine ball powder, the issue I habe offs I get pieces of the powder on every stroke spoiling from the bat add itty cycles.  I've loaded 3n38 which is not as fine of powder with no issue, wad wondering if there is a fix to this spillage.  It doesn't affect consistency of the charge of powder, Justy trying to not waste and keep the bench that much cleaner.

Another vote.  I use them not for stopping spillage, but to reduce wobbling that induces bullet tipping over.  Works better than zip ties.  The owner is very responsive to emails too.

DAA has a new product as well.

Make that a 3rd vote for the spill stops. Excellent customer service from Reloading Innovations too.

I use zip ties for that and resolves issues. The spillage I haves is coming from the powder bar, as it does it's cycle, pieces of powder  are clinging to the back of the measuring bar and then spill on the bench

Just ordered one of those dampeners from reloadinginnovations. Thanks for the tips fellas.

I made something similar to the spillstops using a piece of a fairly dense foam rubber a little less than 1/8" thick.  I used a 45 case to punch out the disc and then a leather punch for the center hole.  It's been working on cases from 9mm size to 308.

Does it soften the snap of the action?

It does stop the case from wobbling when it comes to a stop at that station.  I use them on the 2 stations following the powder drop.   I'm using a Mr Bulletfeeder after the powder drop and it has greatly reduced the spills at that station.  I use it on the next station just to keep bullets from falling off the case, it wasn't really a common occurrence to have bullets tip over but now it's not occurring at all.  

 

I was getting a lot of spills when loading 223 and 308 with H335 or WC844.  These spill stops are the last thing I've done.  I have used the zip ties, strips of fabric softener sheets in the powder measure and grounded the machine to a wall outlet.  Since doing all of these things the powder spills are greatly reduced.

The Arredondo powder bar stopped the spilling with Major Pistol that has the same consistency as AA#7.

I had the same problem with one of my powder bars. Solved completely with a piece of tape. See post below for details and pics.

Couple weeks ago I stumbled upon this fix and it is the ticket, thanks for the idea works perfectly

Just got the reloadinginnovations spill stop washer kit, and it's amazingly solid. No case wobble on index, and it's a solid index into place. I'm tempted to run two, but I don't feel the need as of yet.

Do they work on a SDB ?

[perttime]

Looks as if they might need more space than you have on SDB?

If your SDB is running rough, check that your primer assembly is adjusted just right and your cases are not sticking in the dies.

[Hi-Power Jack]

Okay, thanks.   The ad does say they are for 650's and 1050's - I guess not even 550's

If you need spill stops on a 550 you are doing it wrong.

No doubt.  If you need a spill stop on a 550 you should cut down on your caffeine intake

Spill stop on my 1050 helped, but not a lot. Especially when loading Silhouette at major. Have to go very slow at the top of the upstroke

I was having some spillage while loading Shooter's World Major Pistol for my 9mm major rounds.  I had the powder bar issue, which racer-x's tape fix resolved (thank you).  I used blue tape instead of green since that's what I had on hand.  If memory serves it was .004" thick vs .005" with the green.  In any case, it worked.  I no longer have that leaky faucet thing going on.

 

I was also having it on the upstroke to the MBF station after the powder drop on my 650.  Very distinct clicking sound and a little bounce to the case while the ram was moving up towards the MBF dropper die.  I made a couple of snips to the detent ball spring, slowed my pace a little and that seems to have mostly eliminated the problem.  I still get the occasional bounce, but I don't want to take any more off the spring.

don't have a bullet feeder 

when loading 9 major was getting powder everywhere installed the 

reloading enovations pins it helped but still had powder spillage

it was the powder check pulling powder out of the case so  removed 

the rod .no more spilt powder.

I was still getting spillage with one  reloading innovations damper on my 650 using 4.2g n320 for 9mm. It’s when I added a second damper to another station that the spillage stopped. In some cases, two are better then one.
