[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 674359, member: 25383"] I bought my Harrell after they been out about a year or so. I never planned on doing long grained stick powders with it from the start. With ball powders, I can throw charged +/- .1 grain all day long. IMR 3031 is about double the error, and 2015BR seems a tad tighter for some reason. Compaired with a Redding 30BR and my modded Lyman, it's a little better. I like the Lyman better than the 30BR. The Harrell is a learning experience as it uses the Culver system rather than what we normally think of. Keep a log book with your click setting written down in it for a specific charge and powder. I find mine to repeat setting extremely close. As for the bottle issue and turning the measure upside down, That's the best way with any of them to get rid of all the left over powder inside. They do sell open top bottles (check with Sinclair), or you can simply buy them at a camping store outlet on the cheap. The Harrell like the Lyman seems to prefer a good drop tube, and I use several 4" and 6" ones (learn to flick the drop tube with your index finger to make sure all the powder has left the chamber). So just how good is the Harrell? I've used the original Sinclair, a Niel Jones, and a couple other high end ones over the years. I see little if any difference in them when charges are weighed. My favorite was a Homer Culver modded Lyman (real one) that had the Sinclair bottle adapter and a baffle. With a 6" drop tube it was deadly accurate, but still wouldn't do 4350 and stuff like that all that great. gary [/QUOTE]
