Folks:

I receved my Quick Measure yesterday. I was very excited to open the box, it took UPS a week to get it from Washington State to North Carolina.

Visual inspection showed a very well made piece of reloading equipment. Having it in hand was much better than visualizing off the webb site and just talking to Tim Johnson.

I looked at all the pieces then read the directions and literature. I am both very mechanical and smarter than a few, therefore it did not take long to click with me. I felt after examination of the Quick measure I had a pretty good idea how to set it up and operate it.

As anal as most good benchrest shooters are this Quick Measure is a dream come true.

I will do some trial and error experimentation with it. After seeing it in person I have little doubt it want do exactly what Tim Johnson its inventer says it will do.

I will set it up tonight or this weekend and put it through a few test. If it works as well as it looks I will buy a couple more to be set up on other progressive presses that I load log powders with.

Longshot

Allen:

Set the Quick shot for 25.5 grains of Varget.

Threw 100 measures of powder each weighed less than .05 varience. Pretty dammed good.

I will test 100 measures of 42.5 grains of IMR 4350 next.

Try some ball powder, mine will toss the exact charge, time after time with W748 or Power Pistol with out varying.
I think the fact it doesn`t crunch stick type powders part of the reason they are so accurate with them. I find a tenth gr either way as the max mine varies if I keep a consistant motion going while useing it.
