I have a Braggin Rights Precision powder measure locking plate plate on my LNL AP press. This plate is great, but pulling the powder measure is not so quick and easy now. So this drain will be a perfect solution for me. Thanks for the demo.
I just ordered this. Congrats you are the only person on You Tube that made a video of this product and I don’t think Hornady published any instructions. Couldn’t you have installed it without dumping a charge first? Would it not pop in the down position?
Interesting to know this is a "one of a kind" video ;-) I don't recall any instructions and my video "style" is to do things "live" without practicing first so you can see my trial/error process of learning as I go. As you saw in the latter part of the video, I did manage to "get it right" in terms of process/function.
I used mine a couple of times, and decided it was more trouble than it was worth, vs. simply pulling the measure out and dumping. This thing would be MUCH more useful to someone using the Hornady powder measure on a non-Hornady / non-Lock'n'Load progressive press, or for a standalone Hornady powder measure, without the Lock'n'Load Hornady stand, i.e. using a shelf bracket or other brand stand, to hold the measure.
Yep did Exactly the same thing the first time I used this. I don't always use it to empty the hopper. Sometimes I still pull the whole thing out...YMMV
Did you dump a couple measures of powder all over the shellplate there? Even using this measure on a non LNL press it only takes a moment to detach the measure from the top of the actuation system to dump it. I bought one of these dump units but haven't opened the package and have been seriously thinking about returning it. Thanks for the timely demonstration of how it works. Perhaps adding tubing to it to lead into the powder bottle so it can sit there and take it's time.
I actually prefer my original method of pulling the entire measure and dumping it in the powder can. This was an inexpensive "test" that proved sometimes the best solutions are the simplest.
What I've found that works for me on a new powder measure (or powder related device e.g., charging die, powder trickler), I usually throw in some graphite powder and shake it up to give it a "dusting", empty it out and then fill the same measure/die with plenty of smokeless powder and shake that around, then empty it. Good to go from there (again, this has worked for me, so YMMV).

@@ReLoadersBench lol no problem. Thank you for posting.

There are drive-in theaters that still do double feature movies. but it will cost more than $2.25
I miss those days!
You actuated the measure to install the adapter. At least twice. That dumped the powder.
Doing something for the first time live on video unfortunately catches all the mistakes real time ;-)

@@ReLoadersBench I agree. I probably should return it though the return shipping may be too much to bother.
Whats your trick to keeping the static out of the powder measure.
