While loading some rounds for my .40 the other day, I noticed (cuz I'm still new and don't trust the equipment) that my powder measure is dropping an inconsistent charge. Varies +/- by as much as .5gr.

It is still new. I've loaded a total of 95 rounds with it, but I always throw a low charge, put the brass on the scale, and use the trickler to get it up to proper weight.

I am using Alliant Power Pistol powder.

My question is, did I not clean the powder measure well enough when I assembled it? Is Power Pistol a difficult powder to meter? Or is my Hornady powder measure crap?

It really sucks having to add over 1gr of powder to some cases and .3gr's to others... took me an hour to charge 50 rounds.
