Brand new to the Dillon 650 and finally got to loading 223 ammo this weekend. Just to be sure I would occasionally pull one of the charged rounds and measure the powder charge.
This is my question, I ran about 5 rounds to set the charge at 23.5 grains of TAC. After I had ran about 10 rounds I checked again and was actually down to about 23.2 then another 10 rounds and after spot checking, I was back up to my target weight, then it jumped around from 23.8 down to 23.2 over the next several checks I made.
Is this to be expected in a volumetric type powder dump? Is it the TAC powders physical composition not allowing accurate measuring? Or is there something that I am missing?
I used my charge master to measure charge weight, of course after calibrating and even threw an occasional 55gr bullet on the scale to double check the charge master and all is ok.
The adjustment screw on the back of the charge bar appears fully functional, in that it is snug and not able to move. The charge bar is moving the full range as shown in the directions.
Suggestions/thoughts?
Thanks
