wow the scale maybe the culprit?

I would be blaming the scale and not the caps. What capsule maker are you using?

Well, I can't blame the scale for all the powder that is falling below the caps.

I don't think the scale is to blame. It isn't the most accurate thing, but it isn't off by an entire gram or anything like that. I mainly mentioned the scale because I am frustrated with it. I can easily weight something, take it off the scale, but it back on the scale, and get a slightly different weight ... but we're talking about +/- .1 or maybe .2 grams.

I'm not sure if there is a brand-name for my scale. It seems like all of the scales on eBay are probably made by the same company. I'll buy a 0.01g accuracy scale off eBay as well and use that when measuring smaller doses of things .... I think that should resolve that issue.

I'm using the Cap-M-Quik capsule machine. My first batches with it went really well, so I suspect that the gelcaps have shrunk just a little bit as they've been in a very hot room over the summer. Although, the gel caps still come apart easily, so I dunno. I'll probably send Cap-M-Quik an email and see what they say. Maybe I'll even buy some new caps (size '1').

capsuline.com have better capsule machines maybe i´ll get the machine that caps 180 at a time

I have heard MANY complaints with cap-m-quick. I have heard The Capsule Machine is the way to go.
