Texas Lizard Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 BP measure has a metal powder hopper, it's taller than the clear plastic one on a standard 55. BP is what I have and what I need... Thanks TL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Howdy This is a Lyman Black Powder powder measure. The base is black and the reservoir is aluminum. With the standard Lyman Smokeless powder measure the base is usually orange and the reservoir is clear plastic. And the reservoir is not as tall on the Smokeless measure as on the BP measure. For what it's worth, whenever I find a used standard Smokeless powder measure for sale cheap at a white elephant table I buy them, because the rotor will fit either version. I keep the rotors preset for the powder charges for the different BP cartridges I load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
