What powder measure do you like?

Little Dandy for me

I have been reloading .44 and .38 for many years using RCBS little dandy powder measures. Never had a problem and the range of rotors available is incredible. In addition, the little dandy's are about the most inexpensive powder measures on the market. Test runs to check consistentancy have shown the rotors to throw very close charges. I load for pistol practice and do not require "ultra close" tolerances on charge weight.

Lyman 55s, Belding & Mull for short runs of 20 or so rounds and Dillon press mounted measures for most loads. All three work extremely well.

Dan kind of stole my thunder here. I guess that's what meant by "a day late and a dollar short!"

I have no experience with the Belding & Mull but I was going to say that my Lyman #55 is a great measure for single stage applications. I even put it on top of my Lee Classic Cast Turret when I am dealing with difficult powders like Unique. With the "two slides" it is easy to adjust so that bridging doesn't occur.

You would have to see one to understand but they have a built in "tapping" instrument that settles the powder. You can get into a nice rhythm and throw some real consistent charges.

I use an older Lyman/Ideal #55 for very small to larger handgun loads.

I have two RCBS Uniflows, one of which is mounted on a Piggyback II, for medium to larger handguns and some rifle loads.

For serious work I use an RCBS electonic dispenser matched to an electronic scale.

Forgot to mention, I also have a Lee PPM mounted on the bench that hasn't been used in years. And I had a Lee Auto Disk that was thrown in the trash along with the Pro 1000 it was mounted on.
