OK, I will pull out my beam balance if I can find it. Thanks on that.
Jimmy, try cutting a strip of dryer sheet softener and stick it in the hole in the top of the powder bottle making sure some of it is in the powder. Leave some sticking out and replace the red stopper. That will reduce static. It does for me.
I have the metal baffle from MEC but stopped using it. I have been getting very good drops without. I don't know why it changed over the years. Once I get going with the 9000 things go smoothly with few problems and pretty accurate drops but I check around every 25 rounds. I do spend a lot of time weighing loads when I first start as the drops increase as the powder compresses from the vibration of pulling the lever.
My ears are open and I am digesting your advice. I must admit that I am disappointed in the machines that are out there and I am surprised by the reviews, mostly on Amazon where a few of the the scales seem to be as good as ones costing 5 times as much.
I can use a beam balance to make my hunting loads but larger quantities for sporting requires a digital unit I can depend on.
I ground my reloading machines to the water pipe overhead in my reloading room. But I will try your dryer sheet idea, also. That sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the advice!
