I broke down and bought 2 or these for my RCBS measures. I should have done it 10 years ago. A little expensive but worth every penny.

Minerat, thank you for that website.
Gonna call them in the morning.
No problem. I found mine throw more consistent loads with this hopper, it may be because of the built in baffle. beside you can see thru them and they don't discolor. Mine are the old Ohler types and the hopper hasn't been available since the 80's in the past I had to trickle up to loads to get the accuracy I wanted. Now it drops consistently within in 0.1 grain instead of the +/- 0.3 gr.
i did get ahold of RCBS at 800 533 5000, and they called me back in 15 minutes, it is on order now. i dont know how you could beat them for parts, what a pleasure to deal with...they must be as i own 42 RCBS die sets !!
Mine cracked a while back. RCBS's excellent customer service provided a new replacement and a new cap at no charge. Kudos to RCBS!

I tried that with mine but being so old they did not have the hoppers or the drop tubes for my model. I agree RCBS is the best when they have the parts.
