To follow up on my powder spillage for any of you Rl 550B owners. I had the bolt and nut that holds the powder measure bar in too tight. As a result, when I started to lower the platform, the powder measure would stay in the up position until the little return bar started to pull it back down. At this time the rest of the powder was coming out of the measure cup as the .308 brass was way below the powder bell. This caused the powder to spill out onto the bench. I just loosened that bolt and nut a little and the powder measure came down on its own gravity, pushing the rest of the powder charge out and into the .308 brass instead of all over the bench.

Let me tell you what a relief it is to find out you are an idiot and that your machine is not broken. Live and learn.
