Lyman baffle size

[Steve Donlon]

I use this Lyman powder #55 measure when I load my 45 acp and it never had a baffle. The opening is 1.75" and the only baffle I can find is 1.78". Is that my only choice to use and just grind it down a little? Or where can I get one that fits?

Now that's some battle hardened equipment.

I found a template to cut out of a sheet of aluminum.

You sure fooled me....that Lyman 55 is definitely not taking center stage.

Thanks, I didn't think of just making my own, I have plenty of aluminum flashing

I bought the press and powder thrower from an old widow for $100 around 1980, just like it is but not that worn.
