Horseman wrote:Just a WAG, but is it possible that the case is "sticking" on the flaring insert and as you lower the shell plate it (the case) is bringing the insert down with it and "resetting" the measure. (not even sure if this is possible) If you're doing BP I'm guessing you're doing 45 colt and it is a bit of a long case.
I'm loading .38spl Black Powder ;)

By the way, the match went fine, I won the "Frontier Catridge" category, and turned out to be the fastest BP-shooter in the match, and finishing 8th of 75 overall. I'm actually faster with BP than I am with smokeless. I can only guess why...

But now BTT:

That was my first thought, too. But it even resets when I just work the lever by hand, with no chain attached and no case inserted. My wild guess is that something's out of tolerance, and it just doesn't have the tension it should. But I didn't figure out where the tension and the drag should actually be. I need another evening in my man cave to figure that out and see if it can be fixed.

An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

When setting a job up for myself it must be Idiot Proof as well, as I am a bigger idiot than most people I know, and I prove it to myself everyday.
