Thanks for all your advice. I appreciate your time and effort.

I did clean the insert exactly has the Hornady videos show. After I called the Hornady support I was advised to use some graphite as a dry lubricant to make it a little slicker. That hasn't improved things much.

Hounddawg: I'm going to try without a baffle see if that helps. It won't cost me anything and it may help.

My bench is very sturdy so I know I'm not getting any vibrations that would complicate things.

I have a whole container of Varget so I'm committed to make it work for now, even if I have to weigh each powder drop. If it doesn't improve by the end of the container I guess I'll have to try flake or ball powder. That is my main suspect right now.
