A few days ago I set up to reload a few dozen 30-06 rounds. As I was setting up my powder measure, its an RCBS uniflow if it makes a difference. Anyway, each drop was throwing drastically different amounts of powder, then I noticed powder was getting stuck to the sides of the hopper and drop tube. I measure on a scale each charge anyway so safety was not a factor, it was just a pain having to add powder to each charge. It has been humid the past few weeks and I keep a dehumidifier running in my loading room. Anybody have some tricks for solving this or should I put up with it till the humidity drops?
