If the key on the clutch daisy wheel is damaged, it may allow the clutch daisy wheel to misalign against the alloy body of the powder measure when the clamp knob is tightened to secure the powder drum in the powder measure. This misalignment will result in the powder drum being too loose, and may cause powder leakage from the measure during use.
Contact us here for a replacement clutch daisy wheel. An interim fix while you wait for your replacement clutch daisy wheel, is to rotate the powder drum clockwise to the 2 o'clock position when you tighten the clamp knob to secure the powder drum. This will position the key on the clutch daisy wheel so it does not contact the alloy body of the measure and impede proper tightening of the powder drum.
