[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1599084, member: 78056"] I'm surprised so many people have such a miserable time with their powder measures and stick powders. My old measure is (I think! There are no markings of any kind on it) a Lyman 55 and if I'm using something like IMR4350, I will have to cut a grain once in a while but generally it throws some pretty consistent charges with every powder I've tried. IMR and Hodgdon stick powders will usually throw within .5 grain or less, after which I use the trickler. With the Short Cut powders it does even better. With ball or flake powders it's always quite accurate, once the powder is settled. I have absolutely no idea how old it is, I got it and my RCBS scale in a trade but I've been using it since the early/mid 80's. One of the best deals I've ever made, in fact. I can only guess that they just don't make them like they used too! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
