I am using a # 55 Lyman with a culvar insert,
And forester neck & case trimmer.

If you are already using a Lyman/Culver you already have the best. Just remember that how uniformly you raize the handle is just as important as lowering the handle or knocking.

Fish30114I call my RCBS Chargemaster combo a powder measure. If that definition is acceptable to you, it is the zoot-capri!

smalstufI use a quick measure and think there is none better

butchlambertI will second Mr. Ohler's recommendation. I also welcome him to the board. He sure built me a great chronograph.

eddieharrenAnd I'll third the Culver recommendation. I am fortunate enough to have several of Homers' measures and understand why all other BR measures are judged by his. I also have a "jacket spinner" he made me and it is fantastic. I sure miss the old man.

eddieharrenIs that a Woody Harrelson?

45/70 Govt.And if you want precise loads, you'll measure them on a decent scale. I like a beam scale, but also have a digital. Dirt and fuzz in the pan can affect a load.

Harrell (no son) measure06 January 2007, 06:35
BuliwyfJones or Harrell's Precision powder measure.

djpaintlesThe Harrell is one of the best out there. It uses a Culver style measuring system and is much better made than the lyman. Thanks for the link above.....................DJ
