SOLD Belding And Mull powder measure

[AlNyhus]

SPF to jcarpen
Vintage Belding and Mull powder measure. It's a little humble looking but a bit of paint and some polish on the brass hopper would have it looking like new. Works well, very accurate, comes with micro adjustable drop tube. Glass has a crack but a new glass comes with it. I have several of these but will let go of this one. $75 includes shipping to the lower 48. PayPal preferred (net) but check or m.o. if fine, also. Please post if you want it and follow up with a P.M., please.

Thanks! -Al

Just out of curiosity, didn't these originally come with a plastic tube hopper up top? And is this brass hopper an after-market addition, or did some of them come this way? Is the brass hopper threaded into the base, or soldered? I'd appreciate any info anyone could supply.

The plastic ones were later models. The brass hopper is pinned in with 3 brass pins.

The early ones came with the brass hoppers and the later ones with the plastic hopper.
I have 4 different powder measures and I find myself coming back to the Belding & Mull.

PS: a little Johnsons Paste wax on the Aluminum part and it will work much smoother

The two I have both have brass hoppers and work better on extruded powders than the modern ones

They work great for black powder as well

An excellent piece of equipment that will measure H1000 and the like very well. I have three myself.
$75 was a bargain, I wouldn’t sell mine for twice that.

Thank you for your response. I have been looking for one for years. Finally found one online six months ago and paid for it. When it arrived the plastic hopper had been crushed in shipping. The seller wanted it back to refund my money. Wish I had kept it. . .

I love 'em. They're not fast but no slower than using a Chargemastet setup. I've got a few more of these but it's good to keep this stuff out and in use. -Al

I had my introduction to loading using one of these almost 70 years ago. Brings back memories. I was 8, my best friends dad, a neighbor , would let us operate the measure and pour the powder on the scale. That summer I shot my first ground hog with his Winchester rifle. Good times and amzingly that farm and field still there.

The last one I got was from a forum member, he had been very kind to me when I first got on the forum. There was a discussion on the B&M and he PM’d me and said he had one I could have. So we talked on the phone for a while and I asked him why he was getting rid of it and he told me he was about done, that made me very sad but I for sure wanted it so I said I would take it if he would sign his name on it for me. So with silver marker johara1 signed it. I don’t use that one and when I get my new reloading bench finished it’s going on display
