strange. I have had zero problems with my v4 for several years now. Using mostly varget, h1000, and n568.
Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

H1000 overthrows like a banshee for me
But it’s no match for H50BMG or n570. >25% overages completely unacceptable

With N570 I run the shims and tip with good luck. I usually leave the sliders in the middle but sometimes I bump them up and can run faster.
The emptying is kind of a learning curve but I rarely spill powder any more.
This is a symptom that something in your configuration is not set up properly. Typically it is in the V4 settings but can be belts or scale settings.
I don’t get any overages but I also let it take its time at the end and have it set so that it backs off the speed well before the set weight. I don’t mind this so much because I charge at the same time I seat a bullet so between lubing the bullet and pressing it I get a perfectly adequate cycle time.
I have the shims and then beta testing those new tips and I can say the v4 is amazing with this new setup. Above i loaded 180 with like 5 overthrows
I need to get the tip, but this thing was to get me through to the IP only, and you know that saga, but I was disinclined to tinker only to receive teh IP system shortly after I got it dialed.
At this point I feel like a fool for not dialing the V4 immediately, I have wasted soooooo much time waiting on the IP using inferior systems I don't want to tinker with

There is no need to disconnect the wires, just like there is no need for shims/tips or other such nonsense... But that's just my opinion from using my V4 since 2022. .02 is generally one kernel of many powders and .04 is generally about 2, maybe 3 kernels. Well within my tolerance. A world more accurate than my Chargemaster 1500.
I'm sure it's possible to do it without removing the wires but seems like it would be more difficult.
one Kernel of N570 is .08gr, I think N560 is .04 so there's that.
And don't forget some powders are not cut evenly, like RL15.5. .02 to .06 on the high end. I have also seen kernels stuck together with some powders, no getting around those issues.
It isn't really. I don't use the big bulky powders which is why I said many powders. Remove the hopper and place behind the rear window. Tip the V4 over the hopper and open the window. Give it a shake to empty the tubes and you are good to go. No need at all to disconnect the wire.
I'll try it next time. How ever disconnecting the wires is a non issue for me
I have found that, if I'm careful, I can empty it without disconnecting the wires. Just gotta have a process
