Maybe some of you have dealt with this. In my Pro2000 with auto index I noticed that when the shell plate reaches it's stop point the snap of the detent ball causes a tiny bit of powder to shake out of the case. It's not much, but it accumulates on the shell plate and around the base of the machine. This is with a short shell, the .380. I replaced the spring with a lighter one but the other side of the dilemma is that below a certain spring strength I expect to have to watch the plates indexed position carefully with every throw of the lever. The speed of the lever pull has little or no bearing on this action at the plate as it's caused by the ball snapping into the hole. Obviously it's consistent from shell to shell but it does make me check thrown powder weight more often than I should have to. There are two places where it can lose powder, the stage after the measure and the one under the seating die. Thanks.
