Brass or Aluminum reducing inserts for Chargemaster

MDM,

Expecting my insert today or tomorrow. It occurred to me that rather than using tape, one might dimple the outside of the insert with a center punch enough to snug it into place. Have you/anyone else tried this approach? One would have to be gentle (or use an insert) to be sure not to change the shape of the cylinder, of course.

I just got one of these little jewels. Out of 25 powder drops, I had 2 that I needed to tap the tube to give me and extra GRAIN of H-4831sc. Truly a great investment for the price paid. On the down side it did take and extra few seconds to drop 50+ grains, but well worth the wait.
Well worth every dime,
Lloyd
 
Received my adapter yesterday and tried it out last evening. Metered 20 44.5gn Varget charges and every one was on the money. I am using the factory default parameters (for now), and have a quarter under each front foot. Couldn't be happier!

Update: I just finished a 50-round batch of the load above and not a single over- or-undercharge. I tested randomly as I loaded, and all charges were within +/- 0.1gn.

Excellent product and great service from Michael!
 
As my prior posts indicate, I am very pleased with MDM's product. I noticed, however, that due to the thicker wall of the insert (compared to a straw), powder will back-up behind the insert. Unless the insert is removed when changing powder types, this could cause a safety issue when loading the first round or two with new powder. I have run the powder tube "dry" after draining the reservoir and then removed the insert; there was nearly 2gn of Varget left in the tube. This is in no way an indictment of MDM's design...it is merely a characteristic of any such device. I have decided to leave the insert just snug (as it came to me) so that I can easily remove it when cleaning the CM.

Again, no knock on the insert...just a word of caution to all.
 
I just measured my charge master and I came up with .308-.3085 for the ID.

I`d like to have two of the brass ones please.....

PM me with your details and I`ll get the payment on the way....

Thanks,

Phil.
 
Been getting some inquiries about the inserts and Yes, I'm still making them. It's best to PM me for the details as I don't check this thread every day, but I will get an email notification if you PM me. Thanks, Dave
 
I've gotten a few PMs lately and yes, I'm still making these. I'm also now offering a chamfer on the rear of the insert for an extra buck. Thanks guys.
