I dug out my old herters powder drop. worked at it for about 10 min and discovered it has the same throat size as the Hornady LNL. I bolted the Herters drop to the bench, removed the throat and worked out the correct load drop. I took the Hornady drop off the press, put a RCBS powder funnel in the old location for the powder drop and started loading .243 with H-1000 with no problems. The funnel fits over the case perfectly as the case comes up, and I manually drop the powder. Yeah, it takes a bit longer.....but there ain't powder getting dropped all over the shell plate and floor. I check weight every 5 rounds, (+ or- .1) every round and that is close enough for me.
