The last few times the I've used the L&L I've noticed the reservoir tube on the powder measure is loose. It's almost to the point of falling off when in use.
Normal, known issue?

It’s a press fit. I made the mistake of picking up my measure, when it was about half full of powder, by the reservoir. It fell apart and made a mess. I cleaned it and put a little super glue on it before pressing the hopper back into place.
There is an aftermarket glass hopper that screws into place. I forget the brand name.

Here you go. https://dramworx.com/products/hornady/
You may be able to screw/push it down a little further. It is fairly common.
You can probably get a new hopper out of Hornady if you call and talk to them.
I haven't done anything with mine, it's not loose enough to concern me. Dab of RTV would probably secure it without being permanent.

OP
I did some Internet Detection and found that it's common. The something about the powder and plastic reacting.
I'll probably complain to Hornady the clean and RTV it in case it needs to be replaced.
