    Harkom, I have not used the powder measure yet. I am going to reload 45-70 and 45-90 for my Springfield Trapdoor rifles. I have two springfield Long Range Rifles from 1879 in 45-90 from the Capt Litchfield group used at the Creedmoor matches and I want to be accurate on my loads and testing out different bullets. I am using goex ffg powder. I do believe accuracy on the measure will depend on the grain size powder and will adjust accordingly. I Hope this answers your question. Thank you for your post. One of the rifles is showcased in a book by Richard Hosmer, both rifles are mentioned.

    Nice rifles , as to the measure I have used a older pacific with no issues and have used dippers , but recently RCBS sent a email with their black powder measure back in stock , but they did not last long .

    Update, correction the entire body is made out of machined steel, there is no aluminum on it. I believe the drum is aluminum bronze, i am not an expert, based on the color. Sending the measure to Dram Worx to get a custom Pyrex hopper for it. Will post pictures when I get back.
