What do you do when you loose confidence in your equipment

[Sarge]

The closest I will get to a turret press is my old six-station Spartan, which allows me to size, expand and seat bullets in both my main-battery pistol cartridges without moving a die. I took the primer ram off and use a Lee Auto Prime; I insist on feeling the primer seat.

I won't have a press-mounted measure. I charge a case, inspect it visually ane then seat a bullet. I use an old Hornady Deluxe and a Lee Perfect Powder Measure or two, mounted near the press. They are all set for a specific load/cartridge.

Once I find a good load, I stick with it so there's rarely a need to disturb a measure. The little Lee 'Perfect' isn't quite that because it leaks a tiny bit. But once set and locked, they throw consistently.

I haven't fooled with the disk measures.

I don't remember if I cleaned it or not . If anything I'm sure I wiped it down . I do know I did not use any water on it . It's always seemed to work just fine . It just was not throwing the charge weights I needed/wanted . The limited usage/testing I've done with the charge bar does seem to have corrected that issue .

I'll be testing new powder bullet combo's this weekend . So this means I'll have loads that I'll want to load in volume here shortly . In the next couple weeks I'll load a couple hundred rounds on each powder measure ( Lee auto drum & Lee pro auto disc ) This should either restore my confidence in the equipment or destroy it for ever , we shall see
