Another Powder measure
Im going to order another powder measure a RCBS Uniflow with the small handgun charge assembly . I'll have two already set up so I dont have to swap parts.
I was looking at the Hornaday(its suppose to be real good too) But you cant buy it with the small charge assembly installed, have to by the parts separately so it cost you alot more https://www.brownells.com/userdocs/p...00010254_1.jpg

I have a RCBS exactly like that. I don't use it too often though. Most of the time I use my Lyman digital powder measure.

I have one just like it that I have owned for more than 25 years. It is getting set up to throw powder charges for half a 5 gallon bucket of .30 caliber carbine primed brass. The brass is Lake City from the mid 50's older than me by a year. Should be a fun week with all that powder measuring & bullet stuffing.

Guys I reload on occasion have seen those powder chargers but never used one. Are they easy to use and fairly accurate?
If yes I have a ton of shells, powder, bullets, primers to load? I always used a dipper filed down so the top just meets the powder charge I need to load. Actually works pretty good cause I just dip and go level with the top of the plastic dipper. I will grab one on your recommendation. Thank yah.

The dipper works if you have nothing else to measure powder, but it is not what you want to use for good constant loads, especially if you are loading volume amounts of ammo. When I was loading 30.06 & .308 ammo in large amounts, the RCBS powder measure was perfect for using reloading blocks to hold the shells & throw the powder charge into each shell allowing the operator to see the level of each charge. I would hate to blow up a beautiful Garand or a M1A rifle because I screwed up a powder charge.
