Had to work on my powder measure.

My Forster Bench Rest powder measure was getting a little stiff to operate this week while I was running some H-110 through it. I took it apart and cleaned some crud out of it, put a drop of fishing reel oil on the bearing surface and reassembled it. It works fine and easy again.

Heck, the thing is only about 40 years old. Why would it need cleaning already?

We all need our joints greased a bit when we top 40......

What does that mean now that I'm over 60?

Thanks, Sam. I probably should have used some of the MotorMica I have sitting on my bench. Next time I'm down there, I'll redo it since it's just one nut to take it apart.
