your probably already doing the same but I also fill the hopper to about 2/3 full and refill it when it gets to about a 1/3 to keep some weight on the powder.
Do you mean 4.13 or 4.3? Too many decimal places are insignificant, and a large flake powder will struggle within just one.When I first ran powder through it, I didn't rotate the turret each time, but when I weighed the 49 individual charges, I did. I was loading ammo at the point so I was using every station. I did a test run of 10 charges of TiteGroup. Had it dialed in at 4.1 and weighed 10 to get an average. I rotated the turret each time as well. I was getting around 41.3 or so (I forget exactly), so I definitely call that good. I'll continue testing with 700-X as it is my preferred powder.
Since that powder hopper is pretty precarious just perched on the top, there is something to be said for only partially filling it and using a weight instead of a column of powder to achieve a good flow.OK, I found a powder weight made for the Lee round hopper powder measures on ebay:

Adding something like this could make for more consistent throws.

^^^This^^^It shouldn't leak at all. Have you played with the tension on the screw?
Try it w/o the baffle. I bet it's just as good.Just an update. I ordered a 3D printed baffle from Titan, and tightened down the screw on the drum as tight as it goes. Dialed it in for 4.1gr and threw 10 charges (letting the turret do a complete rotation between each throw), it came out to 41.08gr and it didn't leak at all. I'm cautiously optimistic that it is ok now.
Powder Measure weight:That looks interesting. I would like to see if anyone here has tried or will try it.
I wonder if it would depend on the powder used.There is an old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I have the Titan Reloading 3D printed baffle for the powder hopper. I've ran with and without on many thousands of rounds. Weight checks of powder drop and chronograph shows no difference with or without the baffle in my testing. I see no reason for one or for adding a weight.
It might. So far I've only tested, H-335, Win748, IMR4198, CFE223, Accurate #5, TiteGroup, Unique, Silhouette, PowerPistol, and Win231. So it might be powder related, but I haven't found it as of yet.I wonder if it would depend on the powder used.
Before the baffle, I'd start to get inconsistent loads after 50-60 chargesThere is an old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
