Lyman #55; side plate coming loose

[Kevin S]

Hey folks!
I've just started using my new Lyman Powder measure. Before using, I disassembled, cleaned, etc.

However, as the title indicates - as I thow successive charges, the 'side plate screw) starts to walk out and become very loose.

What am I doing wrong? I'm having trouble with consistency (+-.2grn, then an outlier +-.5 grn after 10 or so throws)

Thoughts? Any advice is much appreciated!

Thank you!!!

I have the same powder measure, but it's the older Lyman model. Maybe a little bit of Locktite might help prevent the pins from walking.

I'll check mine out later today when I get off of work to get a better idea of what the problem may be.

Thanks Broccoli Killer; I may try loc-tite, see if I can get it to hold better. My concern is that I want to keep a consistent pull, and as that screw (it's the one on the opposite side of the charging handle; keeps the barrel assembly on) loosens, I get more horizontal play in the cylinder.
