So explain to me why one or two granules of powder (which don't even amount to .1 grain) flopping out ever time the shell plate indexes is "unsafe". Considering 1 granule per round, at 400 rounds, that's 400 granules on the shell plate. That's easily enough to cover the shell plate. But it's not enough PER ROUND to cause a problem.

So I had to brush them off... big deal. What's unsafe about this???
