Still loving the Lyman powder measure

Lyman brass smith powder measure

[@edwardpetty5401]

I have the Redding and Hornady measures. They both work well.

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

I still love mine after several years of use…same with my All American Eight turret press…but I’ve always been a fan of everything Lyman (their powder trickler is also a boss!) 🤩🤩🤩

Hey Bis,,, 👍🕺🏻🇺🇸

@@unclejim2330 back athchy you 👍👍👍 or whatever this iPad translation bullshit seems fit 🙄🙄🙄

[@TinManReloading]

Double taps are good. Those look like really nice measures. Still have only ever used my Lee 😊

[@CrankyCleatus]

I still love mine too. Lyman should have saved your original series of videos for marketing reasons, they were awesome 👍

[@unclejim2330]

Haha, I doubt they want me as a spokesman.😂😂😂🤷‍♀️😂 Thanks Cranky. 👍🇺🇸

[@jesseboutdoors]

Just had mine out the other day. The Lee load all 2 is all over the place with clays powder. So I put it in the brass smith.

[@unclejim2330]

Clays can be flakey but yes. 😂👍

[@reloader7sixtwo]

The Lyman is a good measurer, I gave my old #55 to my brother when I was gifted a vintage RCBS DUO Measurer. The Brass Smith is running around $52 on Midway, but is much more expensive everywhere else I've checked.

[@unclejim2330]

Lyman stuff goes on sale there often and I did see $45 a while ago. 🤷‍♀️👍

[@pdog305301]

I have 3 powder measures but the Lyman is the one I use the most. Very consistent drops with a variety of powders. There are some flake (700x) and extruded powders (IMR4198) that are within a .1gr variance which is to be expected. Ball powders flow like water and are on the money every time. Definitely a good choice for the money.

[@unclejim2330]

Thanks for the reply. 👍

[@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

Thats nice you can change the measure that quick. Good deal!

[@yeayeasautoadventures]

Lyman customer service is great too

[@lens7859]

I have a Lee powder dispenser and it leaks like crazy with fine powders like Silhouette. May be time for an upgrade. It’s very accurate though

[@unclejim2330]

Yes I have that one too and use it for non leakers but you can cut a notch in a paper plate and pour it back. 😂👍

[@Ruteger100]

where did you get that powder measure stand? Looks pretty great.

[@hercules1073]

I bought one for the same price when it came out. They're not cheap anymore though! I sold mine after a few months. I just much prefer my 55 and uniflow measures. My main thinking was that with repeated use the well fitted steel drum would basically grind away that aluminum body casting. Probably not an issue, but there's something about cast iron measures that sets my mind at ease. They all work well regardless of the manufacturer though...even the plastic ones work just fine with certain powders at least.

[@unclejim2330]

This one hasn’t had any wear at all.

[@hercules1073]

@@unclejim2330 Yeah I kinda wish I'd kept it after seeing folks long term use videos on it. I love the simplicity of a simple standard drum like the uniflow (my all time favorite measure) I also like the 55 for it's features and massive throw adjustability.

[@thetexasr.a.t.2059]

There is a business that sells replacement powder hopper that are made of Pyrex instead of plastic which should by all means stop any static electricity from building up on the powder in the hopper so that powder bridging in the drop down portion should be a thing of the past. Personally I am getting one, as static electricity is a Handloader's nightmare. DRAM WORX - Pyrex Replacement Hoppers.

[@unclejim2330]

I just wipe it with a used dryer sheet and never had a problem, but good tip. 👍

[@thetexasr.a.t.2059]

@@unclejim2330 Many have had the powder bridge in the drop down tube and cause a squib load in one cartridge and an over charge in the next cartridge, dew to static electricity. Dangerous stuff to say the least if it is not caught. Wiping with drier sheets or washing with dish soap are remedies that do not get to the root of the problem, yet I prefer a cure. So I personally want no plastic on my loading bench what so ever. I also like quality tools that last forever as opposed to cheap stuff that will end up with issues, such as the powder etching the plastic hoppers when left in them. With this Pyrex hopper one can literally leave the powder in the hopper forever and never have any etching happen.

[@HobbiesHobo]

I haven't bought a powder measure yet, the longer I go without one the less interest I have. I only shoot small batches though. Those are way more money up here in Canada. "Land of Double all the Prices" - no free shipping! haha

[@unclejim2330]

A good powder measure make life easy. 👍

[@investigativeoutcomes9343]

way easy@@unclejim2330

[@marcthomas2482]

You made me curious so I looked on Amazon. 75 beans! I might still like to have one though. My LEE leaks H110 like you in the driveway. The Auto Drum works better for me on the turret, but I use it only for 9 and 38spl. Great video UJ!

[@unclejim2330]

Amazon isn’t the place but wait for sales at midway, I got mine at optics planet which I no longer use do to an issue. Never had a problem at Midway!. 👍🇺🇸

[@novicereloader]

Mine is even consistent with Varget. I just have to make sure the brass set screw doesn't work itself loose.

[@unclejim2330]

Good to know. 👍 I put Teflon tape on the brass screw. 👍

[@novicereloader]

@@unclejim2330 I'll give that a try. Thanks for that tip.

[@maxxbear5014]

I have a Lyman powder measure but it doesn’t have that kind of adjustment? Actually, I’ve never seen that before. Nice Powder measure.!!!!

[@unclejim2330]

The brass smith model is the new kind. 👍

Is long shot anything like unique powder.? I’ve always struggled getting my powder measure to work with unique. Thanks for the demo.

[@unclejim2330]

Hey OB, Unique is a chunky monkey! This with throw it a 10’th high or low sometimes.

[@oddballschtuff]

@@unclejim2330 I have a love-hate relationship with unique. I love how it works, but hate loading with it.

That was an amazing price.We are ripped off with prices in the UK. Love mine it cost me $115

[@unclejim2330]

Ouch! I know some friends over there and things like welders and tools can also be expensive. 🤷‍♂️

Jim.. one of the things I take into your videos is,, You have been doing this enough to know a good product from a crappy one and you ae NOT out to make monetary revenue $$$$ from the views you get on KZbin. I trust your judgement because you know a thing or two about a thing or two. - Dave

Does it do well with finer powder like 1680? My lee measures usually leak it a little.

[@unclejim2330]

1680 works great in it , love that powder for heavy 300blk! 👍👍👍

[@kenf2662]

I'm on the fence the Lyman or Hornady ?

[@unclejim2330]

Or Lee deluxe 🤷‍♂️

Redding's Competition Series Powder Measurers are the best.

I'm not sure about my brass Smith powder measure yet. I'm still weighing every drop. +/-. 2 or. 3 is terrible. 1 grain separates 5.5 minimum to 6. 5 maximum with trailboss and 44-40. I'd get 6-8 in a row of 5.8gr then 3 or 4 at 5.5, 5.6, 5.7... Then I'd get 6 to 6.1 or 6.2. 80% swing of minimum to Maximum sucks.

[@unclejim2330]

Trail boss doesn’t throw good, that is the only problem with that powder. ( Which I use a lot)
