How Tight Should the Powder Measure Be

[bruce282]

I have a 550B with the new style powder measure. Just how tight should the hex headed attaching bolts be ? I normally just finger tighten them, but thought I should check it out. Also, the thumb-screw on the shaft likes to work itself loose, I guess that explains why when I bought it there was a rubber band around it.

Just snug enough that they won't come loose.

Tighten the screws with an allen wrench so that they don't come loose. It isn't a small block chevy,

no need to torque them down.

Are you referring to the blue wing nut on the failsafe rod? If yes, phone Dillon and we will send

a replacement steel tinnerman insert for it.

even with the insert on mine, I just loktited it in place, as it still kept working free.

Gotta love it! The manufacturer jumps in with instructions and the offer of free replacement parts if you might need them!

I don't crank it but I like my pretty tight.
