Hornady Auto Powder Measure fixed with 40 S&W case

Hi Guys,
The wife got me a Hornady automatic powder measure.

I've been using it for awhile now and really like it, but have noticed that with fine grained powders that it has a tendency to overshoot the entered powder charge. I have the speed set to low and it still does it.
So... I took a 40 S&W case and drilled a .200" hole through the primer pocket and slipped it over the end of the powder nozzle. Now it works great and dispenses the correct charge every time.

These kinds of solutions please me greatly.

Finally, a purposeful use for the 40 SW brass.

I have the RCBS charge master lite and I found that if I have a bench with ANY flex it throws off about 30% of the time.
BUT, I shored up my bench so it is a bit over-engineered and does not flex. Now it throws ON 100% of the time.
