Perfect Powder Measure
I am using the perfect powder measure with titegroup and I think I have a leak somewhere. After a lepoaring sessions, I am seeing several grains of powder on the bench. Not sure if it is coming from where I hold the shell into the tube or elsewhere. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks

Re: Perfect Powder Measure
Yep that's not an uncommon thing. Most of the time just tightening the screw will solve the leak because it's comes from cone-housing fit. Usually it happen with very fine ball powders. No need to crank it to tight, just a smiggin.

Yep, cone/body fit. I have some WC820, a very fine ball powder and (don't tell any Lee Haters) it leaks like a sieve... I just tighten the assembly screw a bit and sweep up the spilled powder...

Re: Perfect Powder Measure
Lap the parts then coat with graphite before reassembly.

Re: Perfect Powder Measure
GasG is right lapping the cone in the frame fixes leaks of even the finest powders. https://www.lee-loader.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1875
