As a collector/accumulator, I've gotta ask... what is a Hensler insert? Is it a Culver-type unit? Pix would be nice, too.Originally Posted by Kiwishooter

I have 8. 2 Lyman #55s, 2 Lee Perfect Powder measures, 3 lee auto disk and 1 Lee Pro auto disk. The auto disk measures are so I can leave them set for each of my pro 1000s. I use the 55s for rifle and the perfects for small batches of pistol.

That said, I have sold my Lyman 55, RCBS Uniflow, RCBS DuoMeasure, 2 Belding and Mull, and C&H. Of the ones that I sold, I liked the RCBS (with two rotors) the best.

My original Lyman 55 that I started with in 1986 (it was used when I got it), 2 RCBS Uniflows that came with RCBS Progressives ( one used, one new) and an RCBS Little Dandy (used, complete with 25 of the 26 rotors originally marketed with it).
6 Dillon, 1 from the old 450
2 RCBS Uniflow
1 Lee
1 Pacific
2 Shotgun setups
Gave the Lyman 55 away. This does what I want
2 Uniflows (on presses)
1 Dillon (on press)
1 Lyman 55 (stand alone)
2 Lee Pro Disc (doing nothing)
1 RCBS Chargemaster
alg3205 if the 450 measure is a manual one and you ever want to move it, I would be very interested.....
Lee on my progressive RCBS on the bench, and a home made brass measure for BP.

Well, I just got a third Pacific Powder Pistol Measure. Maybe we could re-do the poll and have a category for 15 or more...

4 Lyman 55's for me

Methinks you be right, we need to expand the poll. Seems in the last couple months I have picked up 2 more RCBS, 2 early SAECOs, 2 Pacifics, 2 Herters--will it ever stop--I gave one of the Pacific's away so it does not count. Still over 15!

I would expand the poll but I can't figure out how! When I started this thread I had no idea people had so many powder measures. It sure makes me feel better about the ones I have. I think I am up to 7 now.

You're "up to 7 now." Well pilgrim, that's a pretty good start. Now if you will pick up one of each of the common fixed rotor types like the Little Dandy, Accumeasure, and Pacific Pistol measures as well as a #55, a Uniflow, a couple of different Harrells, and Belding & Mull as well as a few of the odd balls just to get to a minimum of 15, you'll be up to "enthusiastic beginner" status. Don't forget to seek out a couple of really old Ideal measures so people will know you're serious about it.

Still looking for info about the "Hensler Insert" for the Lyman 55.As a collector/accumulator, I've gotta ask... what is a Hensler insert? Is it a Culver-type unit? Pix would be nice, too.

I'm now up to three Pacific Pistol Powder Measures. I can't find any loose rotors at affordable prices, so I've bought two more rotors with measures attached.I'd still love to to assemble a "complete set" of Pacific rotors to go with my complete sets of Little Dandy™ and Accumeasure™ rotors. I'm still looking.

OK I'll admit it I have only 1 a Lee pefect-
That's OK, pilgrim, you owned up to it like a man!
Watch flea-Bay for a couple of good ones that the feather merchants miss and first thing you know you'll be bellying up to the bar to tell us about your 11th or 21st or more. Hang in there!
