Those fortunate enough to own one of these measures know what an awesome accurate old beast it is.
I have a very old one I purchased from a member here on CB. Problem has always been the mount.
SHEESH... what a horrible design. ...:groner:
The shape and single thumbscrew clamp cant possibly do anything but twist the way you don't want it to. So I designed a base plate for it, with a pocket recess milled out to hold it where it's now solid in my ROCKDock docking mount.
Also designed a dual plate for 2 powder measures and had them both at the Reno Gunshow. Solid mounts improve our charge to charge consistency for sure.
