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.
