    large powder measure

    Is there anybody making a measure capable of throwing accurate charges in the 115-120 grain range? I would prefer redding style. The only ones I can find max out at 100 grains,and I really dont want to buy an electric RCBS style. Thanks in advance.

    Or setting measure for 1/2 of your change and then pulling the handle 2x.

    Although it's not a drum type, the Quick-Measure is capable of loading cases in that range, and do so quickly.

    Set the drum measure for half the total weight desired to be dropped, then operate the measure handle twice.Robert

    Since with Charges that large I would still feel inclined to weigh each charge. Therefore I do not feel that you would loose much time to swing a lever twice and then trickle the powder to the correct amount. But you will save the cost of a new Powder Measure.

    But some just need a new Toy.

    I dont mind weighing every charge,I just dont want to have to trickle every charge. Besides I feel I owe it to Redding to spend some money since the measure I use was bought by dad in the 50s-60s.Most consistent measure I have had the pleasure to use.
