I bought a Lyman #55 Powder Measurer 2 days ago. I set it up and loaded 9mm Luger ammo. It functioned great, and very consistent. Enabled me to load 3 times faster what it would usually take. I thought I would try loading some 308 win. Rifle Loads. Problem. I was using IMR 3031. The throw handle would bind about halfway down when charging a case. At this point I exerted pressure firmly and could get to go all way down. Each time I threw a charge it would bind on handle. IMR 3031 is an extuded stick powder. Im assuming the Lyman Measurer
only works with ball or flake powder. If anyone knows how to remedy this and enable it to work with the extruded powder let me know. Lastly, would I be better served with the LYMAN #55
powder measurer or The RCBS Uniflow powder measurer? Thanks
