I have a Universal Machine that I am setting up for .45 ACP. I have had no real issues until I got to the powder slide and throwing 5.0 gr of Red Dot Powder. I have a - 27A Powder Slide No. OO -- 5/16" Thick for the Universal Reloader only. Max. capacity 7.0 gr. B.E. or 8 gr. Unique or 11 gr. #2400. Is there a way to adjust the amount of powder delivered to the shell case?
Thanks,
Bill

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but if you are trying to throw a charge of 5.0 grains of Red Dot, you will need a powder slide with a hole that is 0.421" in diameter. That same hole size would throw a charge of 6.65 grains of Bullseye. I have a number of extra 00 powder slides, but nothing that big. You might want to consider a 1/2" powder slide with interchangeable bushings. http://www.starreloaders.com/forum/index.php?topic=1618.0
PS Welcome to the forum, Lots of great people and good information here.

The adapter kit Bruce mentions works very well and is very nicely fabricated.

Thanks for the help guys. Barreltester is sending an adjustable Powder slide. I will give it a try and get back.
