have one, but its not 100% perfect with extruded powders..
Rich B:
Are you shooting paper in competition or hunting delicious animals? If it's for hunting, a ball powder should meter fine in most powder drops and will be plenty accurate for most large game hunting. You should be able to get a very accurate load with proper load development.
Also, consider some of the newer short stick powders, such as Varget. They meter better than the older stuff.
JimP:
Hodgdon has a "Short Cut" version of some of their extruded powders...... H4831SC worked exactly the same for me as H4831 (YMMV). I think I saw an IMR powder (7828?) that was labeled similarly.
Dark Helmet:
I'm using 4064... my measure is consistent once I get it calibrated to the charge, but I have to meter 5 different charges this time... once I have the final charge I work with the drop to get the setting dead-on for that charge...
hand-measuring a bunch of individual loads is kinda like a root canal for me.
