Good day.

I am new to reloading.
Still working the kinkings out of My LocknLoad

Any how i am having a problem with the powder measure.
It seems to get stuck crunching the powder on both the down and upstroks
and gets stuck there where i have nudge the adjuster for it to go.

Is there somthing i am doing wrong.

I tryed putting some Graphite powder though it and still doing the same thing.
I have cleaned it with degreaser twice and same thing.

I have used 2 diffrenet powder
2046 and now im using vargent since its smaller its not crunching as bad as the 2046 but still doing it.

I have had my LnL for a month now and this has gotten me stuck

Any comments and help woudl be greatly apreshiated.
Have not had time to call hornady yet.

What drop tube do you have in it? What caliber are you reloading?

Its 223.

the smaller tube that came with the lnl.
At work at the moment can't tell yha.

Just got off the phone with hornady they have no ? there sending me a new sprint to see if that helps.

Use ball powder.. (don't know if the powders you listed are or aren't)... extruded powders will cause problems.

Did you take it completely apart and clean it? I mean every single part? I ran into a similar problem with mine and my friend's L-N-L and then I removed all the grease and oil and it works like a charm.

Also, I'm using ball powder which is a lot more forgiving..
