Anybody using the Hornady BP powder measure?

I have one on my Hornady Progressive loader, works just like the regular one. I love it.

The metering stem that came with mine is only graduated in 10 grain increments, instead of 5 grains from 10-50 and then 10 from 60 to 130.  I called Hornady and they are going to send me the correct stem. Additionally, when set for 60 grains it throws light. I'm hoping the new stem will fix this.

Well,
I called Hornady back today to check on the status and the tech said he checked and was told they never made the stem as described in their catalog and website AND every other website that sells the unit. He then said he was going to check and see if they could manufacture one for me to those specs, OR I could return the item for a refund. I find it very hard to believe they've never had an issue with this and that people who bought the unit are only loading at 10, 20, 30, etc grain increments. I ended up telling him to see if they could make the proper stem, but I don't hold much hope tor that. Very dissapointing.
