Bailey Boat Conversion for Little Dandy?

[Green Frog]

I rediscovered a very old thread by and about a poster, screen name "Bailey Boat" who was making a conversion for the RCBS Little Dandy powder measure that involved an adjustable cavity rotor. I'm curious as to whether anyone here has actually used one of them and what were your impressions? I have a couple of Little Dandy measure bodies, but have "stored" my rotor set away and can't find them, plus would like to be able to get some very small charges and be able to make smaller adjustments than the gaps between fixed rotors. Any and all information will be appreciated, posted here or by PM.

TIA ~ Froggie

I have Two Little Dandy bodies and multiple rotors. I would seem that any conversion would be based on (kinda like) a Lyman #55 powder measure. The lyman has the adjustable drum whereas others have an adjustable column. It just looks /seems feasable.

G'day from Downunder .

G'day All , I have had one of these from Baily Boat for a little over a year now and it is fantastic to use and easy to adjust even when it is full of powder.
I use mine for very light charges of WW 231 for my bullseye pistol loads in .32 mag , I highly recommend the product and the gentleman who makes them .

Regards Paul .

He PM'ed me on another forum saying he has some in stock at the same old price... I just wanted to hear from someone who had some bench time with one... I'm planning to buy.

I really like mine. It wont throw a charge smaller than a 0 Dandy rotor.

maximum is about equivalent to a #16 rotor
