I was giving serious consideration tonight to moth balling my DU-O-Measure. I set it up to throw 6.0 gr of Unique, once it did and verified with the Ohaus 5-0-5 beam scale, I proceeded to load about eighth cases and decided to stop and just check a few.
I found the cases varied as much as .5-.8 gr. The first couple was dead on. The next few were .3-.5 under at 5.5-5.7 gr from my original setting of 6.0. Some were even higher at 6.2 gr.
Any ideas as to what may be going on with it? I can't trust it to throw charges I initially set anymore. I had to end up using the trickler half the time as most were below my setting with a few even higher. Time for a new Lyman 55?
