That's the one I use. I also have the red plastic one with the spring loaded seat and they work just fine. I've found that no matter what you use the key to consistent drops is dependent on the vibration of the machine and the dwell, hesitation for lack of a better term, on the powder drop and the methodical rhythm of the loading process. I hope I got that point across. I shoot with a fellow who will, out of any 100 round, have at least 3 or more bloopers. I suggested that he follow my method and now he is down to almost zero problems.
