    Black Powder Powder Measure???

    Hello all,
    I bought a reloading package and there's a powder measure that has no adjustment and it has a 1 stamped on the drum. Is this for black powder?

    Thanks

    Probably not if the hopper is plastic.

    Black powder and plastic hoppers are fully compatible.

    I believe the drum is the actual powder measure. You replace the drum with the one that throws the charge you need. In this its similar to the rcbs Lil Dandy. Its a smokeless powder measure. I suspect black powder would be a very small charge.

    Plastic isn't really a problem, or at least it hasn't been for me. Just empty the hopper when you're done, no matter what powder use.
