Hey guys what powder measure are you using

[Chilly807]

Nothing wrong with the scoops at all, I have several and only the handles are still yellow

The kit from Amazon was $16. They're simple and reliable. Not particularly accurate or consistent but all they have to do is get me slightly under my desired charge weight and the trickler does the rest anyway.

I have the RCBS UniFlow, a Lyman 55 & a Lee Perfect powder measure.

Of the three the UniFlow gets the most use.

That's funny, I have those 3 too. Use the Lyman most.

 

[Snider shooter]

Lyman 55 from 1950's and a black powder 55. RCBS uniflow and my turret press die sets have Lee measures with adjustable charge bars.

I've used a Lee measure for the last 25yrs. Measure a small load, dump it into the pan and trickle it up to where I want it.

It's a good measure, esp accurate with ball powders.

My Lyman 55 will always have a place on my bench, but the (flame suit on) Lee Auto-Drum measure has been pretty good for me. It's simple, accurate and consistent with most powders....flake powders make a mess.

I just ordered a Lee Auto Drum from Brownells! What a deal! And cheap cheap shipping. They have a good name for stick and I can't see myself giving up 4064 anytime soon!

Lee Auto disk has been pretty good with HS6 powder, +-1gr accuracy

RCBS UniFlow, Lyman 55... and somewhere in the spare parts bin, a Hornady pistol-slider-what-you-want-to-call-it thingy

I've used a Culver modified Lyman 55 for the last 30 years with IMR4064 without issue. I got it used.

Worst unit I had was a Hornady.

So this fellow Culver is he still modifying or has he left us? I've got my old orange 55 and right now it's a paper weight.

LEE for me

Harrell now makes a Culver, but his own ones made the Culvers obsolete.

I have had good results with several measures , but I find some inherently work better with some powders than others. My Uniflow has been with me for the longest but I have picked up a used 55 and a saeco for cheap at gun shows that work very good. For the price even the plastic lee perfect powder measure worked better that I expected, been using that one for red dot in rifles with cast bullets. I find that getting the measures set for the correct load takes the most time and I hate to change it once I have hit the sweet spot, hence the look out for more powder measures, not much different than having preset dillion powder measures.

After a bit of research, I found that Homer Culver died in 1999.

RIP Homer. Thanks for your contribution.

Lee autodrum. Used to use Lyman 55 but it binds using stick such as 4064. Before that, used lee scoopers.

Common complaint with the 55s, especially when they get a few miles on them.

 

[The Flint&Fly Guy]

Just bought a Lyman 55 and am loving it, hoping to get a lee soon to try out as well.

Hornady Lock n Load with pistol and rifle metering assemblies. So far so good, maybe 2-3000 charges dropped so far. Love how rigid the base is, don't so much love how I had to buy it separately.
Tried the Frankford Arsenal model with the idea that I'd have one measure set up for rifle and one for pistol, but ended up packaging that thing back up after the first time I used it.

Surprised by your experience with the Frankford measure. I have one and after the break in period it works as good as my Uniflow as far as accuracy goes.
I did polish the metering chamber and piston though. My Dillon measure seems the most consistent of the bunch.
