    Lil Dandy request

    I need measurements of the powder hole in a few drums.

    Would anyone be willing to do so for me?
    Then I'll just make my own and drill them out to match and I'll have the FULL set.

    Sure would appreciate it.

    Need: #1, 2, 15, and 23

    Dia and depth of the powder hole is all I need.

    Thank you
    George so I can:

    I have two complete sets from #00 to #26, and use 'em all the time.

    If you have the other 24 measures, you already know the diameter, but I'll include it anyway. My measurement of the depth of the hole is a few thousandths off because my calipers have a flat end on the rod, not a pointed end, so they don't go completely to the bottom. I'd add five thousandths or so to the depth of each of these measurements to account for that.

    #1 = ~.314" diameter x ~.255" deep
    #2 = ~.314" diameter x ~.285" deep
    #15 = ~.454" diameter x ~.425" deep
    #23 = ~.454" diameter x ~.628" deep

    There are a total of 28 rotors available for the Little Dandy. They are 00, 0, and 01 thru 26. A 00 holds 1.7 grs. of Bullseye, while a 17 holds 9.7 grs. of the same powder. NR for 18-26 for Bullseye.
