What I noticed is that the detent is pretty strong, so if you index prior to putting the bullet in, it seems to spill a bit of powder each time.

I am now experimenting with using both hands to index (the right hand has nothing better to do right now anyway) so I can control the index a bit better.

I am now running the following sequence (assuming you have just resized).

Prime (carefully, I have crushed a few primers sideways in my "enthusiasm")
2 handed index
new case
bullet
repeat

This seems to be pretty good so far.

Has anyone else had any problems with spillage of powder out of the drop tube funnel (not out of the case or out of the uniflow rotating cylinder)? I switched to universal clays over unique for my 380 auto and noticed that the joint between the end of the uniflow and the pistol funnel seems to leak a bit of powder on every pull, is this normal?
