Dillon powder measure - okiecat - 01-14-2020
Anybody having any luck running AR-Comp thru dillon measure. Cant get mine to stay within +/-.2 gr. Thats too much for me. This one has been dismantled and fully polished also. Where did the supply of 8208 go to? Cant find it anywhere this week.

I use a Harrell’s, no problem with ARComp

No it is a very old measure.

Is this a old or new style powder measure?
Try wiping down with anti static wipes. Had similar problem way back when with Winchester 748 powder loading 223 on my 650.

okiecat Wrote:Where did the supply of 8208 go to?Great question. Recently got a bolt Grendel, did a bunch of research and got recommendations from the heads, settled on 8208XBR. Normally I search for the cheapest most convenient source of anything. With this stuff, a source at all would be a development.

GET SOME SPRINGS, PUT EM UP LIKE OLD SCHOOL. Thank me later.
The new setup is horrid, but if you add the springs back in, it's almost 100%. It's no precision drop, but it'll be within +/- .1 gr, which if your neck tension is good, you wont find much of an issue anyway. I've found loads I can run within .2 that just work. I can't stack those boxes in one hole at 100, but I can plink all day at 600 with confidence. Even on the 12" fox.

Dillon still offers the replacement springs for the old measures.
