[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1094482, member: 25383"] The Harrell Culver measure is about as good as it gets with reservations that bugs me. Why didn't Linnwood go for the bigger bottle that would allow one to simply thread on a standard powder container? All powder dispensers have a window they work out of that are their most accurate. The Harrell has the largest window I've ever seen. Roughly 85%! The down side of this is volume, or capacity. If memory is right, my Harrell is maxed out at 60 grains (a gazillion clicks). Never been in love with the idea od throwing a double charge, but guess it's OK if needed. The next issue with the Harrell is that it works best with fine grained powders (Ball), and trust me it will dump a hundred loads within a 1.5 grain window (+/-.075 grain). Just as fast as you can pull the arm. The next hiccup is the way it works. You must learn to count clicks. Numbers mean very little. No problem if your smart enough to create a log book. The Harrell will go right back to any setting as if you never stopped, and this is a huge advantage. What you can do if your allowance is running short! Buy a Lyman built #55 (not the Chinese one). Get the Sinclair bottle adapter and baffle along with several drop tubes (both measures have to have drop tubes). I have one, and it will do a +/- .1 grain window once you learn to use it. The China built ones will not do this! Now there are Culver inserts out there for the Lyman (Homer preferred the Lyman over most others), but expect to pay out the nose! So we need an auto measure. No problem, I just set the "Devine Ms G" (trust she is very Devine) on a stool and have her pull the lever while I seat bullets. Pretty cheap and only needs a little bit of maintenance. She even knows how to trickle powder after throwing a light load. OTW close to perfection! gary [/QUOTE]
