Another thing to check is the allen head cap screw holding the powder charge bar lever to the side of the measure. After a lot of rounds, mine backs out some, causing the little square piece of nylon to pop out of the slot. I check mine every now and then. Like the others said, forget the rounds per hour hype. There is no way I can honestly do 500 rounds an hour, and I've had mine since around 1987. 300 per hour is more like it.

I spot check my powder charges by simply removing the brass locator pin after dropping a charge, and dumping on my scale. I then dump the power back in the case, put it back, and continue.

Stay away from IMR extruded powders with the Dillon powder measure. The charge bar will stick, jerk, and all around not work any better than a pair of boots on a one legged man.
