First time user of the 650 need some help

[Household]

So I got it all set up double checked and triple checked every step it takes to roll your own. The problem I am having is every up stroke I'm noticing the powder is shaking out of the shell it's like the shell plate isn't smooth enough I loosen and tighten the screw that holds the shell plate and it dosent matter if i go slow or faster on the up stroke but not to fast what am I doing wrong.

Big thanks in advanced to all the help

I was a little hesitant because I did not have a spare spring but I cut the shell plate ball bearing spring as suggested on many I net posts.

Fixed problem right away.

All I ended up doing is since I have to put a bullet on each time I just do that on the down stroke while holding the brass. Keeps powder from going everywhere. While it is not a perfect fix it works and doesn't slow me down that much.

You can buy a bearing kit that smooth's out the movement of the shell plate, it's a common problem.

^This. On the longer cases (44 mag, 357 mag) it's not a big issue but you'll notice powder shaking out of the shorter cases like 45 ACP and 9 mm. Get the bearing kit.
