I wish a serious shooter would buy this thing. For those that don't know, this "Culver" is Homer Culver, and his powder measure insert as shown became the standard of powder measures. Jones, Bruno, Harrells all copy the Culver design. The "clicks" are repeatable and the measure is smooth. Own a piece of benchrest history here.

BTW, I have two.

I have both rifle and pistol Culver measures. These are classics. I don't want to "hog" another to deprive somebody who doesn't already have one. Homer was my mentor. I have rifle measure serial no. 7

What is the grain range on the adjustments? 1 click .2gr? .5gr? .1gr? Also, what is the total adjustment range? 15 grains to 100???

It really would depend on the type of powder used I'm sure. I have never tried to do a click to click messure. It has thrown lots of 308 and 223 sized loads. It will not throw small 9mm charges of bullseye.
This unit is sold pending funds but I do have another without the bottle adapter I would let go. If you are interested I can see a max and min I can get it to throw consistently. I have varget or some H335 I could use.
