Where's the beef?
I'm going to try this straw mod. Looks easy enough.
Mine throws IMR 4350 pretty well, but it does go over from time to time by a tenth or two of a grain. I could just set it to .2 less and trickle the last bits myself.
I'm curious, why would you pay $300 for a powder measure and then have to fix it yourself, shouldn't the manufacturer figure out a way to make it adjustable so you don't have to do the "straw mod"?

In the cases I've seen with the ChargeMaster 1500, that end up doing the 'straw-mod', it's not an issue with the machine per-se. It's an issue with the type of powder being dispensed. Some powders tend to 'clump', so you do the straw mod to act like a restrictor nozzle - helping to break up the clumps.
IMHO if the 1500 is supposed to drop accurate charges it should be able to do it with any kind of powder that is used to reload or it should say on the package “will not drop accurate charges for powders that clump”. Ther buyer of the item shouldn’t have to modify it to make it work as it should. Like I said just my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own.
