Powder Measure

[OK Bowhunter]

Newbe reloader looking for powder measure.

I looking for a powder measure to mount on my bench. I will be reloading pistol and rifle ammo so will need a good one that will work with both types of powder. May some day get a progressive press if I really start to load large amounts of ammo.

I have two Hornady powder measures and really like them. Accurate and repeatable. Make sure you get both rotors, standard and pistol. Very good measures.

Best measure around by a long shot. Mine holds 10 combined charges of TAC to +/- 0.1 gr almost always.

I have a Hornady, RCBS Uniflow, Lee Perfect Powder Measure, & 2 Lee Pro's. I like the Hornady for ball powders in pistol & rifle. The Uniflow works good too but I like the quick release for changing powder on the Hornady & I have the pistol rotor for it. The LPPM works with extruded powders like IMR 3031, H4895 etc. Yeah, I know people talk bad about the LPPM. I was one of them until I learned how to use it. Feed it what it likes and it works good. The Lee Pro's I use for pistol's on a Classic Cast Turret or my Hornady LNLAP.

Hard to beat a good beam scale. I just don't have much confidence in these electronic ones unless they are lab grade and Lyman, RCBS, Hornady, etc. are most definitely not. Probably made in China.

Speaking of beam scales what do you use for loading pistol loads?

I've got a Lyman beam that I use for rifle and pistol.

Hornady powder measure. I think it comes with a rifle rotor, pick up a pistol rotor, and inserts for each cartridge you're gonna load with it.

That's the coolest feature! I just keep them preset in the box with my dies. Changeovers are a snap.

I've got a Lyman powder measure that I use with my single stage, and the Hornady on my LNL. The Lyman is good and the Hornady is fantastimundic!

+1 I use the Hornady too. Have an old RCBS that works as well though.
