[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 638746, member: 25383"] All thru my shooting history I wanted a Lyman with the Homer Culver insert, but he passed away, and they became raer than hen's teeth. I was also looking at the one Fred Sinclair was selling and the Niel Jones measurer at the sametime. Sinclair got out of the business, and for some reason or another I just persued the Jones unit. About that time Harrell started selling a small measurer with the Culver style insert. I mulled around for about a year, and then one day picked up the phone and bought one. Already had a Lyman with all the Sinclair add ons that I liked very well (I guess I have about a $100 in it altogether). I had a buddy that used the Reddings and I used them quite a bit before I bought the Harrell, and he later had me put him a Lyman together just like mine. The RCBS was another I used for a few weeks on loan. Good measurer, but lacked the repeatability the Harrell had. All this time I was also looking for a mint B&M, and that became next to impossible. There are somethings I didn't like about the Harrell for sure, but none were major. I wish I had one that would throw 90 grains of powder (they came out with that one later), and I wish it had the same thread as powder containers do (like the Lyman does). To this day I have not found the perfect measurer, and have pretty much gave up on that issue alone. My brother inlaw uses a Lee Perfect Measurer, and likes it. But now he wants a Harrell. I told him to just buy the Lyman, and we'd fix it in an afternoon. But he won't like either one of them as he throws mostly 4350 and stuff like that. He like me will buy one of the better electronic measurers like the RCBS or Pact (I came into a deal awhile back for a Pact without the scale, which I already owned two of). Yet on the otherhand neither of these are great for load development work at the range. I wish somebody would build one that would run off 12 volts DC. gary [/QUOTE]
