One thing regarding ALL powder measures:
They absolutely require consistent operation to drop consistent charges. Smooth and consistent operation!
This is seldom mentioned but it is extremely important for minimal variations in powder charges.

it's too hard to get replacements.
With a million new reloaders everything is backordered in big piles of backorders.
If you break something,and it happens...
you have backup.
It’s not like they take up much space. Keep all for possible backup if needed later. I have more than 10 probably
Can't help but put my 2 cents about the Lyman 55. Used RCBS Uniflow for most of my life, and got a Lyman 55. Found it a challenge to adjust at first, but after I figured it out, I'm pretty amazed at it's accuracy, especially with small charges. But, didn't get rid of my Uniflow.
