    Lyman 55 measure drop tube?

    Hi all,

    I picked up a used measure and it has a removable fine threaded 5/8" drop tube.

    Is there an adapter for 7/8-14 or maybe a separate drop tube?

    How is the 5/8 tube unit used? Maybe with the old 310 press?

    Thanks

    You need the 7/8-14 adapter and locking nut from the parts list.
