Someone posted that they a had problem with thier Dillon measure would get powder between the the top bar and the bar that drops the powder charge. I think they were using 231. Looked for thier post and did not find it. I had the same problem with Bullseye. I called Dillon and the tech had me measure the two bars and he said that they were worn, as to thin. They sent me a new set of the bars. It helped for a while. I have a 650 and use it a lot. I measured the opening in the measure and the thickness of the two bars. I went to the local Ace and bought some thin sheet brass and made me a spacer that goes on top of the top bar. You don't want to get to thick of a piece of brass, it would bind. It was pretty easy to cut the sheet brass with a pair of sissors and an a box knife. This shim worked for me. Just loaded over two thousand 38's with 231 with no problem . Bill
