Which Powder Measure

[Fudmottin]

I wasn't so lucky with my uniflow. You have to be very consistent with the handle or you can vary by up to nearly half a grain each way!

I also hate using the balance. A little parallax error goes a long way.

So I'm looking to buy a digital scale and powder trickle.

Ive been happy with my Lyman No 55 Powder measure. Use it all the time and is very consistent

Thanks for your help. My RCBS 1500 is nice but it is a pain to clean out all the little specs of pistol powder. I thought there was a better solution but I think I got as good as a setup as you can get.

Well I discovered that the RCBS digital powder scale (750gr capacity) is rather spendy. Most of the powder tricklers were out of stock except one made by Redding. Naturally the Redding cost more than the RCBS.

I curse the day I learned about this caliber! Long story short, I'm building an entire metal working shop around it. OK, much of it is due to wanting to manufacture a can on an F1 because I don't like any of the commercial cans available (even though AAC's Cyclone is considered the industry best in 30 caliber).

Redding powder thrower. Does great at low volumes once set up but check the adjustment holding screw doesn't loosen.

Once I get around to working up some accuracy loads, I think I will simply make a dip for my chosen powder and bullet and just trickle it up to the charge. Although if I do the job right, I shouldn't need to trickle at all.

Hmm. This talk of trickling makes me want to pee.
