N570 is giving me fits in a measure.

[LRNut]

When I load for my LR rifles, I throw a charge in my measure and then trickle using an A&D. Works great...except with N570. Those corn-cob sized kernals are constantly hanging up in my measure. Anyone else suffer from this? Any solutions? Anyone know of an empty case that holds 90 grains of N570? That is my next idea.

I'm to the point that I set charges to .2 below intended and load 1 kernal at a time by hand with rubber gloves until I have the required weight.

That is what I typically do but the problem with N570 is it clogs in the drop tube in my measure. I don't recall having the problem in Phoenix; both measures are Redding.

Take out the drop tube and use a shotgun hull...a .410 should hold 90 grains....

I'm using an RCBS

I use an old rcbs thrower, 2 cycles, then drop the last few kernels in the pan by hand. I have to tap the funnel to get the kernels to drop into the case.

Some of the dispensers definitely handle it better than others.
In case you might be thinking of upgrading at some point.

Vita powder is some big kernels. I use a pair of tweezers to drop that last kernel in. Each one typically weighs .02 - .04 gn

I toss loads with big powder kernels like v570 using a Lee scoop directly into my e-scale's pan, then double check on the beam/balance scale... I don't play with a measure unless I probably am not cutting kernels or I'm using my pistol scale with a mic. on it. It's a lot faster to just use a scoop for me.

I only use my powder hopper for handgun loads. Hate having to shear those long extruded powders in the hopper. Always had to throw underweight charges. In the beginning used a RCBS powder trickler which was slow and sometimes over charged.

I prefer to use a scoop to sprinkle powder in the scale's pan then use my (very clean and dry) fingers to trickle in powder. I have been doing this for decades. I have found this the most efficient way to load my rifles.

I use an old rcbs hand thrower for the initial bulk drop then the trickler from my v3 to finish. Works excellent. I think n570 was the reason they made the v4 but the v3 is a better setup from what I hear

 

[Dragoon300]

My modified / upgraded RCBS Charge Master works well with it. No problem with .338 LM, but need a long drop tube with 6.5 PRC to get it packed in properly.

 

[6.5x300 WBY]

I was using N570 to test out in my 6.5x300 but I ran it in my Super Trickler and it didn't seem to have any issues.
But it shocked me how large the kernel were.

I use my V3 with an Ingenuity Precision trickler and N570 can give me fits also. Most of the time is jams up the V3 when it dispenses the charge. I also use tweezers to add or remove kernels when it's close to my charge weight. Those things are around 0.06 grains on my scale. Crazy how big they are.
