Yes .

 

 

could leave it at that       search is your friend.

old style return spring. smother more consistent return of powder bar.

tape to take up space ( so it does not leak)

Dillon use to have thicker spacers to stop the leak. Therefore preventing the leak that causes the sticking.

just a few.

Ralph Arrendondo makes a polymer powder bar just for this problem

Another solution is low friction Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene tape, as suggested in the previous post.  It is available in various thicknesses and widths.

I have tried the tape method (2 pieces of scotch) while it seems to work better then no shimming at all it still binds after 100 rounds or so. What have been peoples success rate with that polymer bar? Is it worth it ? Is it hard to fit?

 

thanks!

Currently it has an older powder measure converted from spring return to a gen 1 fail safe rod on it. 

 

Okay here is another idea I have what if I bought a new measure all together? Are the new ones tighter then this one made in the early 90's?

The older PM were built to tighter tolerances. As a general rule operate smother. More consistent drop to drop.

The newer PM are the ones that leak and bind. I am not Shure what your problem is(cause).Your PM could just be worn

out. Buy a new PM give it a try.   Just thought of something their is a spot on the PM that you need to grease from time

to time. At the end of this video.
