Could anyone tell me how to remove unused powder from the reservoir in my Dillon 550B?

I'm surprised that there was nothing about it in the instruction (that I read anyway). I figured changing the powder in the press would be fairly common

Thanks.

You just have to remove the powder measure from the press and dump it out. When it appears to be empty I manually cycle it over the powder container to get the last little bit out. Kind of primitive but it works.

I thought about that. I figured that the powder might fallout everywhere. I only have a vague idea about how this part of the reloader works.
