Powder measure

[1shot]

I'm looking for ideas for the most accurate, consistent powder measure out there. I'm going to leave it setup for loading only my 6-XC. Who prefers what measure, and why?
Thanks,

The Lee Perfect Powder Measure gets good marks for consistency. In more than one test, it held as well or better than measures that cost 10x as much.

At $20, each, you could afford to buy several of 'em, and leave them set up.

No, this is not a joke.

Well, now there is something to consider. I've looked at the Harrell and the Redding br-30. Now it's looking like the most accurate, time efficient setup might be the RCBS Chargemaster combo, as opposed to throwing then weighing each charge. A side benefit I would gain is having a digital scale to weigh my brass with.

The measure Asa recommended is, for some reason, really good with varget.

Redding Measure
The Redding measure is about as good it gets for wildcats and any of the small grain powders. All measures will have trouble with long grain powders.
When you get down to it all powder measures work on the same principle. That being gravity which controls the drop. Buy what you can afford and practice throwing loads. No measure throws perfect loads and why would need that anyway. Take it to the range and be a man about it.

The ubiquitous RCBS Uniflow works great with powders as long as H4350. It is quite obvious when the throw is going to be off, as long as you develop a consistent technique.

I always double tap mine at the end of each,up and down) stroke and the charge is boringly reliable except when a grain is cut. Then I just weigh that throw and either pour it in the case or dump it back in the hopper.

For ammo to be used beyond 300 yards, I set the measure to throw exact and weigh each one. If heavy I dump and rethrow, if light I trickle up.

I finally settled on the RCBS chargemaster combo. I've double checked random charges with my 10-10 and it seems to be right on throwing 38.0 grn. of H-4350. At about 20 seconds per charge, it's a big time saver over the weigh/trickle technique .
