I moved into the reloading game about 15 years ago. my friend gifted me with some powder to start. among it was Unique. I have to say it is a very flexible powder. but the darn stuff really...

x2 on the baking soda and charcoal. liberally apply that to every surface you can reach, lay it thick. leave it for a few days. grind up the charcoal into powder and leave it on trays to absorb...

Figures, if I could think of it - someone had already done it. But I bet it could be done cheaper. Prometheus looks to be on a scale of precision that is far beyond what I was targeting. However,...

I've got a chargemaster, and while it's not a terrible deal to transfer powder and moving the funnel around the loading block - but why not combine them.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
For some reason I had an idea pop into mind today.
The idea is to make an auto powder dispenser that dumps direct into the case. Think of combining the RCBS chargemaster and a shell holder.

I've tried it, didn't think it was all that bad.
I can claim the same for the ginex large military rifle primers. they all work excellent.
