I had a couple of stations do the same .. I took some Teflon tape and gave a couple wraps around the bushing... It hasnt moved since ... 30 seconds and no drilling required

Its a know issue with the powder measure moving after a while, i sent email to hornady and they sent me couple of shimms that fixed the issue (only needed one but they sent 2)

Well, end result of this is that the carb cleaner seems to work like a charm, and it's cheaper to boot, so it'll stay on my reloading bench.

I hope your bench is in your garage - better yet, in your backyard - the carb cleaner is extremely toxic. You'll get (almost) the same kind of cleaning from non-chlorinated brake cleaner which is also not to be sniffed much, but it is safer.

I check each bushing every time before I start reloading, but I think I'll like the tape method better, thanks for the tip!
 
Hornady one shot dry/case lube should never be used on an operating powder drop. Even a dry lube does leave a film. Its simply required or there is no lubrication. It's just alot dryer then a can of 3 in 1 or similar. You can clean your dies and other tooling with the spray. It makes a great penetrating cleaner but any powder drop should be fully de-greased before use. Use a grease remover or brake cleaner, windex works well too. if it isn't fully dry, powder will always clump up. If you choose to spray clean the rotor and other assembly to de-grease, don't wipe it! Static will build up in the metal and also causes powder to clump to the rotor frame and rotor. I recommend a liberal spray of brake cleaner and allow to air dry on a rag. Be certain to remove all rubber o rings on the rotor assembly before doing any chemical degreasing!

"one shot" is a Hornady Registered trademark name for nearly any spray thing they manufacture.

Case lube and dry lube are 2 different items, both called One Shot.

So, while I agree with your statement that case lube should never be used to clean a powder measure, you are mixing up 2 different items. The dry lube and cleaner works very well since it is a degreaser and lube in one.

Reloading setup is in the garage. Yeah, you can smell the VOCs when you use the stuff. That said, it disappates quickly in the air.
