I picked up an old Hornady Deluxe powder measure and I'd like to take it apart to clean it, but I can't figure out how to remove the micrometer thingy to get the drum out. There's a allen head set screw on the side that I pulled out, but the micrometer thingy won't come out. I've checked Hornady's website and they only seem to have the new Lock N Load powder measure which is different from the old Deluxe apparently.

wilit,
after you loosen the set screw on the drum there is another set screw that holds the micrometer knob from moving after you set it. this set screw also has to be loose to remove the micrometer then the drum will slide out. HTH.

This measure was my first and they are pretty complete measures,
I have a mechanical powder measure fetish and now have many
but not because the Hornady wasn't perfectly adequate.

Post Scrip: A more stable base than what comes with them will
make these measures far more accurate.
