Hi,
What powder measure do you use for say 3.1 grains or a very small charge of titegroup?

Redding BR-3 with the pistol chamber installed. Zero leakage and spot on measurement. Got rid of the RCBS Lil' Dandy when I got the pistol chamber.
The smaller size (pistol) insert for standard Hornady powder measure.
Does well for me.
To keep the rotor from acting 'sticky' I pull and and wax it with the same wax I use on the truck.

I use small charges of Titegroup and Bullseye a lot in any of the Hornady measures I have with the small rotor and zero leakage. I don’t load anything under 2.7 grains but they will throw whatever I set them at.
Redding BR-3 for me also. I’ve had a bunch of measures over the years and this one “leaks” the least. Very, very repeatable also which is a big plus.
The old Lyman 55 with the three chambers work well on small charges. If you’re not loading en masse a smaller dipper and trickle up to desired charge. I’m loading 5.0 grs of Trueblue for an H&R SS 5.7x28 and that’s what I’m doing.

I've been using the Lyman 55 as well. Drops accurate consistent 3.2 grains of HP-38. Also using it for my lighter CFE-Pistol and BE-86 loads.
If a 41 won't stop it, I wouldn't bet my life on a 44.
No problems with a Dillon powder measure and the small bar installed.
