Range report on the AA#7

[gonoles_1980]

9mm 124gr xtreme copper plated round nose 1,160 COL

6.5gr slightly larger than the 4.2gr hp38 I typically load my wife.

6.6-6.8 no signs of too high pressure. Going to load a 100 of the 6.5gr AA#7 for the wife.

I just need to resolve the issue with the powder coming out the side of the of the powder dispenser. I think I need to make a dipper.

There's a few ways to fix your powder measure. I *think* graphite lube is one.

Where do you apply it, the area the powder leaks out from?

There's an old thread here: http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-321118.html. Similar results can be found with a quick online search. I truly don't know the details or else I would provide them to you.

Thx, I searched all morning and found no fixes. I'll add graphite lube search and see if that has better results.

I just searched under "fixing a leaking powder measure" or something like that.

I found the lee powder site mentioned in the thread you linked, but had a bad link. Good information there. I'm going to give that a try and see if it helps. I made a dipper, but I'm too inconsistent with it. I go from about -.5gr to +1gr with it. Here's the Lee link http://leeprecision.net/support/ind...le/View/239/27/perfect-powder-measure-leakage

I'll give that a try when I buy some graphite lube this weekend and give a report.

Thanks Havok, bought some graphite lube, it was difficult to spread around, put the powder measure back together, made it tight, but not so tight I couldn't turn the handle. I had no leakage .

Awesome! Glad to hear it worked!
