[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1098459, member: 22335"] I had problems with my first unit and RCBS was nice enough to replace it out of warranty. :) Per their tech, who has responded to other inquiries of mine, they do not recommend leaving them plugged in 24-7 even though I was doing this and didn't have a problem. I've now gone to turning it on a couple of hours prior, maybe the morning prior, and that seems to work out. However, warmup is key. In addition, using a drier sheet (used for 1 load then snagged by me) to wipe down the unit and cut down on static has also made a huge difference. I used to just hit it with Static Guard once in a while (still do) but using the used drier sheet has helped with consistency and repeatability. I rarely have overthrows, and when I do it's usually because one little bit of powder clumped and fell over the edge. The straw definitely helps, and mine goes into the feeder a fair distance but not as far as the mod shown above. I don't think that a short piece will work as well in general. I would not reload without my CM 1500. [/QUOTE]
