Hey guys, just picked this up locally and can't figure out what it is. The only marking I see is "N-7" on the rotor. Anyone have any idea what this is and what it's worth?

Thanks for looking

Looks like a RCBS Duo Measure minus hopper. They usually bring a fair price on FeeBay.

It looks to me like the hole for the powder is in the wrong place.

The drum is reversible for rifle and pistol charges. A hopper sold on eBay this spring for $45.00. Just the hopper. Finding something that will fit is a challange.
The measure is an adaption of the Ohaus measure.

Ken beat me to it... you do indeed have an Ohaus measure. I believe they called it the Du-O or some such name to indicate the ability to reverse the drum to large or small size chambers. The plastic powder reservoirs were apparently not very durable, but I've been told that plastic soda bottles can sometimes be trimmed to fit. I hope so, since mine is missing the reservoir! :roll:

A liter soda bottle with the threads slightly sanded works fine. I have had mine set up like that for over ten years now.

But the one in the OP's picture is an RCBS, not an Ohaus Duo-Measure.

It's the rcbs duo measure. Nice measures.
