    Favorite Powder Measure?

    The Harrell from Harrell Precision Products in VA. This has micrometer click adjustments and works great. You can make note of previous settings and go directly back to them in seconds. Its pricey but you get what you pay for. If you are going to use it with black powder order it directly from them and tell them that and they will set it up for use with an aluminium cylinder for black powder as well as the standard plastic bottle for smokeless powder.

    RCBS for over 20 years. I did add a powder baffle and upgraded to the micrometer style guage over the years. You occaisionally need to clean the mechanism.

    Redding since 1978. It has loaded every round since I started skirmishing. Works great.

    Harrells is the Cadillac of powder measures. Smooth, accurate, durable.

    I've got an old RCBS I've been using since 1977. I was perfectly satisfied with it until I got a Harrells. That was a mistake. Now that darn Harrells has me too spoiled to use anything else
