Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Which Powder Measure?

I cast my vote for Harrell's. I have two one small and one large. Never an issue with either one in years of use. I still have the Ohaus I used to use but it now sets in the cabinet forgotten and forlorn.

boatanchor- I've had the same problem with HS-6 in a couple of measures with very close tolerances. It appears to me it has something to do with the size/thickness of the powder granules. Some of these lodge between the drum and housing assembly and gum up the works, preventing smooth dispensing of powder.

The measure on my Star Universal works fine with HS-6 for the first fifty or so rounds then slows considerably due to a fine buildup between the powder slide bar and housing.

A Redding Match Grade measure with pistol metering insert will dispense HS-6 with surprising uniformity of charge weights, but dispensing is not smooth. A Redding Model 3 with a universal insert throws HS-6 just fine. I suspect the tolerances are not as tight with this measure as they are in Match Grade.

Has anybody mentioned Redding yet?

These plastic spoons don't cut stick powder very well.
