I just recently got into reloading and in gathering up some equipment to get me started, I acquired a used Lyman "No. 55 Ideal" powder measure. I like using the thing, except for one aspect. While the top adjustment screw (the one that controls minor adjustments) turns and adjusts freely, the one below (controlling larger steps of adjustment) doesn't move well at all.
I took it apart, lubricated the threads on each screw, and tried to see if there was something I could do to make it easier to use. However, I saw nothing out of the way. I'm wondering now if I should take it apart again and lightly dress each of the surfaces with some ultra-fine sandpaper. I wouldn't want to goof it up to where I couldn't use it at all, but does this sound like a reasonable approach? Thanks!
