[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1439327, member: 10755"] Use a degreaser after you disassemble the drum, wash it thoroughly with some gun solvent AFTER the degreaser. Dry it well, you can place it in a warm oven, if you don’t mind the smell:eek:, or use a hairdryer or the like. Once dry and warmed, put it back together and put some dry graphite powder on the drum and the housing, work the drum up and down over a catch can and you should be good to go. You need it to coat the drum and housing, but any excess should be removed. I periodically put graphite powder in my measures every few hundred loads, nothing worse than a measure that starts and stops giving wide ranging throws. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
