Hoss Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Dabbling in the dark side a little, looking for a BP compatible powder measure. The Lee dippers are driving me crazy! Let me know if you have anything you are not using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sounds like you need a Lyman 55, or even an RCBS measure. I just load my BP ammo in my Dillon 550. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackey Cole Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I use Lee and dillon measures with app but wouldn't use them for the other bp powders. Powder valley inc I think carried the Lyman/rcbs metal measure for bp also iirc the possible shop out of nm has them also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Box Willy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I use my Lee for my BP. The first time I used it I wiped it with a fabric softener sheet to cut down on static but after that first use the measure is coated with graphite and never a static issue.

Fairshake Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I use the RCBS measure for BP. You can find them for a little over $100. Drill a 1/4 inch hole in the top cover and then insert a 1/4 inch wooden dowel rod with a flat fender washer attached to the end. This rides on top of the powder and tells you when the powder supply is getting low. I painted the last inch of the dowel with a red marker. Hornaday sells a BP measure that is the twin to the RCBS for $147.00 at Precision reloading right now. They sell the RCBS for $137.00 A former friend of mine has used the Lee Pro Auto Disc for several years with BP with no ill effects.
