I was loading with my Hornady LNL AP last night and ran into a issue. I finally got it metering perfectly; and with unique no less, and fortunately I always look into the case before placing the bullet for seating.
As it turned out the rotor didn't return all the way to go back into the "fill" position, so when the next case came by there was no powder in the rotor to drop into the case. This is something a powder cop die would not have caught.
Just a reminder that it always pays to keep an eye on the situation.
As far as my powder measure is concerned the tightness is all in the rotor assembly itself. It is pretty new and probably just needs to wear in a bit more, so really I'm not concerned about that all that much.
