My LNL AP came with three drop tubes- and a separate pistol rotor that's still in the brown paper it was wrapped in- I don't handload for our handguns...
Are you using the pistol rotor?
Also, to add to the post above, a ROCK SOLID bench is a requirement. Since the powder is metered by volume, any jarring/shaking/vibration of the powder drop when running the ram (the resizing die will do this because it takes considerable pressure) will cause inconsistent metering.
I learned this from experience, had only a single layer of 3/4" ply, and once I doubled it up and made it solid, my throws were much more consistent. Also as stated, because of their shape, extruded powders don't meter as accurately and are more susceptible to increased charge weights if the drop gets shaken around when loading.
