I've learned a lot from reading the forums, but now I have a direct question.

I'm fairly new to reloading- only a couple thousand rounds loaded (.38 and 9mm). I have a Lyman #55 powder measure that has worked great up until yesterday. I only use Titegroup usually loading around 4 grains. I found the Lyman very easy to meter with it's slide system.

Yesterday my charges started to range from 2.8 to 6.0 grains. I emptied the measure, cleaned it and made sure it was static free. I reassembled it, and after about 10 rounds, it started again.

I'm open to suggestions on how to solve this, or your thoughts on the measures that you use, and how accurate they are. I would call customer service, but of course they close at 4:30' and I don't want to wait till Monday for help.

Thanks!
