Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I recently came upon an interesting old powder measure. Needs some cleaning up, but it's kinda cool. It's missing the powder hopper, but the inlet appears to be a simple 5/8" hole. Shoudn't be too great a challenge to come up with something that'll fit. But I cannot find a makers mark on the thing. Might it look familiar to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 That almost looks like something for loading shot in shells. The mechanics look all off for powder. This is just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd you do that? I looked for days with no luck. But that's it... although mine does not have the fancy-schmancy micrometer adjustement, and it does not have the long drop tube. Evidently the measure itself is still sold by Forster (for a mere $168.75 - I think I paid five or ten bucks for this thing at a swap meet). And even cooler is finding that the appropriate powder hoppers are still available! Well done ~ thankee!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cheated and used Google Lens to search. Then kept scrolling through vices, pipe benders, and such until I thought I saw it. Took about 20 minutes.
