An Idea I had for measures

[louism]

Just sitting here looking at the bench clutter with all of the measures and all and I thought. What if all were on the same stand? This is what I came up with. About 45 min in the shop and here is my solution.

Very nice!

now ...........
which one to use????

[louism]

I have them set for different loads that I use. I plan to label them. I think I can get 5 measures set up on the stand and just rotate it when I need to. We will see in time how good of an idea it is.
Anyway Bob I needed something to do to keep my mind off of that rifle you shipped. It was supposed to be here yesterday according to the tracking but It looks like it is stalled somewhere between Reno and where ever. Hopefully it gets here tomorrow.

That's cool but not for me. I'd have a 357 charge in 38 case or something equally dumb. I have to compensate for my idiocy with fail safes.

I like it, like ice cream toppings, 3.2g of 231, 2.5 of 2400, 1.8 of trailboss and a dash of bullseye.

Nice to have them all in one spot so you can find them.

Interesting idea; but not for me. I only keep one powder on the bench at a time. It's the only way I can be sure of what I'm loading.

If it's a way to store empty powder measures, then you definitely have some thing there.

[louism]

Agreed, I only keep one powder on the bench as well. I just like to keep a measure set for a specific loading. I would never, I repeat never throw a charge without referencing my books and weighing first. Then I weigh 1 charge every 10 cases. I also never leave powder in a measure. I empty after all cases are charged. I always think safety, my son shoots my cartridges and I do not take any chances.

I have broken Qs all over the place. The company I work for operates among other things coin operated pool tables. They come in handy for lots of things in a wood shop.

Very nice but way to organized for me :mrgreen:

I spotted that, too. Looks like maybe a 19 oz stick?

[louism]

19 it was.

[noylj]

Didn't like that pool cue?
Nice.
You missed one in the back ground.
Mounting is nice, but I wouldn't have them on the actual bench.

Slick, and great looking. That said, for me, there would be far to great a chance of making a mistake!

[str8wal]

I like that. I just put all my ducks in a row cause I had the shelf. I tie down the handles with rubber bands of the ones that aren't being used at the time.

No wonder I cant ever find one of the Lyman measures used. You guys have them all.:mrgreen:

[JRPVT]

Great idea, now if we can find the powder measures.

[el34]

Great idea, now if we can find the powder measures.

I'm thinkin' "now if I could only get me some powder".

[louism]

Come on guys, the 55s come up for sale all of the time here. I have purchased 3 in the Swappin & Sellin (http://castboolits.gunloads.com/forumdisplay.php?18-Swappin-amp-Sellin) forum. All at good prices I might add.
Powder, well that is another story.

[louism]

There is on in the s&s now.
