Hi,
as as I mentioned in my other thread on press setup, I was wondering about the proper movement of the powder measure's bar.
When I start, the bar appears to be all the way back (the connector is about 1/4" from the end. As I pull down the handle, the bar moves across and reaches the end, when I have another 2" to go still.
after reaching the stop, I pull the arm up, and the bar moves backwards, as expected. When I get all the way back, the bar is maybe 1/2" from the end. When I push the handle forward, as part of the priming process, the bar moves the remain distance, and is back where I started.
Is that expected?
Will I get a full load, if I don't push the handle all the way back to the primer seating position? I was wondering, as when I'm trying to get the load right, I want to keep the case at the second station, and keep dropping powder, as I adjust (and do extra drops to stabilize the drop).
For now, I've been going the full distance of travel to ensure the drop is the same, replacing the case into station two, after it has cycled to station three.
