RCBS powder measure

That is typical of stick powders in most all measures. Not much you can do about it except set to drop low and trickle up.

Well that sucks. I don't like the way it does that and do not trust it that much. I keep getting powder to stick from the previous drop that comes out with the next powder drop. Must be doing something wrong.

Carefully chop the stuck one, and when you hit the down stroke of the handle, bang the handle on the body of the powder thrower a few times.
All stick powders do that in all powder throwers unfortunately

Thanks. I'll have to give that a try. I figured there was a trick to it but wasn't sure what.

Wes hit the nail on the head. The stick powders will bridge in the dropper, just like they do in a powder funnel, nothing a few taps won’t take care of.
