View Full Version : I need a Quick Favor from Someone with an RCBS Powder Measure

Could you measure the ID of the powder reservoir please? And report which model you have.

I have an old Pacific measure. Hornady graciously sent a baffle to me. The tech said it might need to be cut down, and it certainly is too large....

I am wondering how close the RCBS baffle would be. My reservoir is 1.850" or so.

Thanks!

I have one at home (both the measure and the baffle) I can measure after work. You're talking about the rcbs uniflow right?

I believe the standard Uniflow will be closest. RCBS has two 'quick change' models that appear to have larger diameter reservoirs. It looks like those are much too large.

Appreciate the help Panda. :)

Reservoir ID on measure 2.078". OD of rcbs baffle 1.984". OD of hornady baffle 2.055". The hornady baffle does fit the rcbs measure. Or it does in mine.

Thanks Panda. I was destined to make or modify one regardless. Your measurements confirm it.
