Need a powder measure for small charges

[Twiki357]

Thanks for all the input. It looks like I’m going to look for the RCBS Little Dandy or the Lyman 55 or Lee Classic depending on what I can find on line.

I probably have 15 gun shops in a 10 mile radius, but all of them have stopped carrying reloading supplies except one. And I think he prices his products at MSRP + 20%.

Again Thanks.

What I like about the Dandy is you can hand hold it and move from case to case faster than you can if it is bench mounted. Just be sure to visually check all cases.

When you do buy your Little Dandy, make sure to take advantage of RCBS's mail in rebate. You get $10 back for up to $299 spent or $50 back on $300 or more.

If i'm not mistaken Hornady bought pacific and their current powder measure is a derivative of that old pacific one. You may want to call them and see if their "pistol" or small rotor and metering assembly will work in that measure.

I load some really soft loads with titegroup so I'm routinely down in the 2-3 grain range on the hornady measure with the small rotor.

I use the regular RCBS Uniflow with the small drum to load pistols; I load for 32ACP and 32SWL with great accuracy and consistency.

My LnL AP is currently setup to load 38 Special target using 3.5 gr Bullseye and 140 gr MO TCFP. Every time I check, my powder drop is dead on 3.5 gr. I am using the pistol rotor and pistol metering insert and have about 3/8" thread remaining to go to a lower charge. I am betting that would work really well for smaller calibers with very low charges.

Might I go against the grain and suggest this: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?200750-Lee-Auto-Disk-Powder-Measure-Disks
