Mounting RCBS Powder Throw To Press

[WFO2]

Does anybody know how I can mount my RCBS little dandy to my turret press . Would like it to be solid . Thanks in advance .

I am using the Hornady one on my Lee progressive. The link here is just the actuator, not the powder throw. Fits the RCBS one just fine. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PCZZU8

Thanks BT but i'm talking about a little dandy not the uniflow .

[VHoward]

Exactly how do you want it mounted? Do you want it mounted on top of a powder through die? Or a bracket that secures under the die lock ring of one of the dies so it holds the powder measure up there at press top level?

What brand, model turret press. I know how to mount one to use on the Lee Classic turret.

Have a blessed day.

I'm wanting to mount it on a lyman turret press using a Lee powder pass through die . Thanks you all for your replies .

[VHoward]

I seem to remember someone posting a link to a company that makes an adaptor to mount a RCBS powder measure on the Lee powder through expander die. Don't remember the post though.

Would this work with the little dandy?

VHoward I think that's the ticket thanks .

I tried to get Lee to make this one for their 'powder through expander' die...
powder filler modification
A friend in Texas made one for me and heres how I used it...
TURRET PRESS…EFFICIENT OPERATION…LEE POWDER DIE
Later I found this made by Lyman of all people...

I ordered the one VHowrd suggested however the one your friend made in Texas looks solid and is probably the best .I looked at the lyman one at midway but the reviews were not great .

Before I had the adapter I just slip-fit my throw but couldn't get it tight enough to not turn in place. Every throw put a sideways torque on the handle and the throw would not stay centered towards me. I suppose that is not a game-ender nor does it make the throws vary…but…It would just aggravate me whilst doing something I like to do…so it had to be dealt with.

Just saw your video with the powder measure adapter with the Lyman powder drop. Your video had more information in just a few minutes than about 100 of the ninety day wonders that have been loading for 6 months and want to show the world how it's done. Maybe it's because I've been doing this since the mid 70's (last century) and it ain't my first rodeo. Thanks for the information.

Thanks Joe…I thought I was a little 'windy' though…I tend to over explain things but after having to explain things to my electricians over the years I've even resorted to drawing pictures for them…at least I'd usually get what I wanted them to do.
I started back then too and loaded for the kids that could shoot more .38 Spls. than an armory could supply and did it on the Rockchucker to boot. Needless to say the kids were taught to load at a young age.

You did a good job explaining what you wanted, you didn't fiddle with the camera, move the tripod etc. I guess I'm just old and cranky. By the way, if you don't mind sharing, what was your job?

OS OK you made me want a Lyman Turret Press now. You run that thing like a champ. Great info.

I was an Industrial Electrical Contractor…power distribution, machine control, factories from the ground up, machinery moves East Cost to West and that sort of thing. MY 'niche' was the 'corrugated board industry'. Cardboard box board. I had to start out wiring houses right after graduation from HS, wired about 1/2 all the homes in Tomball Tx…God! I hate romex and solid wire!

I have the Lyman powder-through expander die set, Lyman turret press, I put a Little Dandy on top and set the appropriate expan der and go to town. Works like a charm.

I was a machine operator/machinist for several years before moving into the office to do programming and job estimating. Moved out of programming into full time estimating, then sub contracting machine work. Finished up my "career" as a project manager/government contract bidder manager. We rebuilt winches for the M113 tank recovery vehicle, work dried up after Obama came into power. Then my job dried up and they let me go. Didn't matter that I made them a lot of money.
