Guest cookoff013 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 whats your prefered structure and density? flake, ball, granules, kernels, rods? i prefer either small flake, or rods. i have had problems with small flake leaking every where. i tend to get more variation with large flake.

Guest cookoff013 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 leaking from where mate Ian. leaking from the top of the bar. i did a re-adjustment of the brass ring, i think it fell off when i did a drop check. it was either that, or static electricity.

Guest cookoff013 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 You're a propellant nerd I don't care as long as it goes bang and lead comes out of the barrel do you have a minimum / max speed you like to use? Disc! i`ve used a low density large disc and its awful to meter, the higher density / smaller stuff is alot better. although if it meters good, its good to go.

Floating Chamber Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Although I have six progressives and ten other presses, I have not 'dropped' propellant since 1993. I got fed up of leakage, 'sticking' and 'bridging' of the powders! All my reloading is carried out using pre-powdered/wadded shells. It may take a little longer, but, hey, home-loading is a passion!

nabbers Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Only tried flake and disc so far, but also had issues with it escaping from the charge bar on the Loadall and sticking to the outer powder tube on the Mec, suspect static from the inner plastic powder tube.

Talk us through that, are you putting the powder in by hand, gauging it by using scoop or weighing each amount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
