Default Belding & Mull powder measure

Many years ago I used this powder measure using both adjustable powder measuring rods. I found it to be very accurate and fast to use. Now, I'm looking to buy another one and find the price of vintage Belding & Mulls are high. Too bad they don't make them anymore. Have any of you used one in the past or maybe still do?

I used one many years ago and as crude as they appear they are fairly accurate though I wouldn't use one for very light pistol usage. For rifle they were very good. I still have mine & the glass is still intact and & have the regular and magnum charge cylinders.

Buffalo Arm Co. 'was' selling these several years ago but I just checked and they are no longer listed.
Technology and accuracy plus cost of manufacturing probably didn't help their cause either.

Yes, I have had one for years. I like the old B&M. It's not fast, but it is accurate. I like the nostalgia. There are definitely many modern powder measures that are as accurate and much faster.

I've been trying to find one. I seem to have 3 or 4 of the charge measures. I used to make 'em with fixed charges. Worked good for rifles. Think I still have one I made for 4198 for my 222.
