[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 183473, member: 306"] As you found out certain powders don't work with those type powder measures I've got a Bruno and have the same problems. What I do is load up a bunch of case at home with the long stick powder and turn the bullet upside down in the case. Since I use arbor dies I take the first powder weight case I want to try seat bullet fire take that case neck size prime and then dump what every powder weight I want to try next in that case seat bullet. If your going to use other powders like R-19 or Hodgdon SSC powder depending on amount of powder you can be off by 1/2 gr or more. How fast or slow you raise handle can change volume or even if you tap handle on the upswing. They work the same as the uniflow I can set my uniflow using IMR-4007 and I'll get within one thenth of a gr when using the Bruno measure that cost over $300 what I'm paying for is repeatable click adjustment for one powder then say I want to switch powder I just dial in clicks and I'm ready to load and adjust clicks but they don't work with long stick powder. I weight powder say at 50 clicks then weight what 50.1 is record that then go to 50.2 and so on for each powder I use. I wish I could be of more help but if you purchased it from Harrell I'd give them a call maybe they take it back. Well good luck [/QUOTE]
