    old timers tell me about this measure please

    I bought my first batch of reloading stuff off of a guy who used to be a benchrest shooter but got out of it. When I was looking at his stuff he specifically mentioned this powder measure but didn't really say anything about it.

    Hi,
    It's a Lyman 55 with a Culver Conversion!

    Very nice!

    I would be interested in that if you are looking to part with it!

    The Culver was very popular with bench rest shooters, someone may want the measure.
    Today they weigh the powder with one of the automatic scales.

    I think but don't hold me to it. Harrell Lyman conversion style? Before or after the Jone's version not sure, but good measure's and some are pricey.

    Lol, excuse me Gracefully Matured.

    So this measure is one to hang on to? I still use it just not as much as I did when I started since I have a Dillon. I still use it to throw a little under then trickle up to where I want to be on my "match" ammo.

    I resemble that remark !!! Local BR shooter wouldn't leave for a match unless he had his Culver measure.

    "Seasoned Citizens" is about acceptable, but I really prefer to be referred to simply as "experienced." YMMV

    it was an Idea that many thought was the best. its not any better than the 55, if its used right
    most don't how to use a 55 correct. even the OLD Farts
    a 55 will do 1gr every time for a 25acp IF it set right
