Isom Dart, SASS#8096 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Info for all the Holy Black shooters ,,, I don't know if I'm a day late and a dollar short ,but, I didn't know that RCBS had a b/p powder measure. The reservoir is aluminum with brass metering cylinder and adjustment screw. It looks just like the regular Uni-Flow powder measure . Is this "old" news ?? Oh well.

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Both RCBS and Lyman have BP measures. I use a Lyman model for my real BP cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I have the Lyman bp powder measure...has the aluminum tube. But for the most part drop the powder from the press that I am using for shotgun or rifle/pistol. Hochbauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, after installing a Pyrex glass hopper, in place of the plastic OEM Dillon the consistency of the throw is amazing. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky R. K. Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I have mounted the Lyman #55 on my Dillon 550 and charged with no problems. That said, I prefer to size, prime and bell the case mouth on the Dillon then charge the cases using the #55. Finally, returning to the Dillon for bullet seating. I use a Lee Carbide Factory Crimp die to finish the process. This seems like a long process but I have the time and it makes a great cartridge.
