B_RAD Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Never noticed it before. I changed powder but can’t imagine that would cause this. Not worried about it just curious. Cleaned it off and loaded 1,000 RDS. Seems like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Look for abnormal wear on the tool head or dies above that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I can't tell if it's coming from a specific location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the cases tumbled with car wax maybe? That almost looks like flakes of automotive wax, although it seems unlikely. I think the suggestion to look for wear spots is the most likely (and the most important thing to address soon!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought the cases from Everglades. Not sure who they cleaned/processes. I've loaded about 5k with this phenomenon. All have been 100%. I originally thought it was the Lee U die somehow working the brass too much. I switched to a Dillon sizing die, still having the porblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 It doesn't look like metal, probably from the new powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich406 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I get that same ‘dust’ I also use sport pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) I've noticed that when pouring the powder in the hopper, there's a fine dust that present. I guess that same dust could come out of the powder die. Edited August 17, 2019 by B_RAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisB_02 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I have a really nice toolhead light. And after every powder drop of sport pistol i can see a super fine sparkle of dust come down. Used n320 for a bit and dust was gone. I keep a can of keyboard duster handy while loading for any spilt powder or messes and it works great on the dust every couple hundred rounds.
