Baffles for powder measures

[Charles Graff]

For several years, I have been using powder measure weights and they are truly great at helping to throw uniform charges. I have one for the Lyman 55 that floats between my eight 55s and another for the RCBS Little Dandy.

For those of you who would like to have a little extra weight on the powder, and put even pressure on the powder. Made of aluminum and Brass for extra weight and less chance for static with the powder.

I leave powder in several of mine for months at a time (shrug). Never had BE eat a measure but Titegroup will eat an RCBS reservoir in less time than it takes to load 50 cartridges. I think they're made of acetate instead of polycarbonate.

Glass is the way to go for sure, I may have to get one of those for my Uniflows, been through two reservoirs already.

I also regularly leave powders in hoppers. But I also used chopped socks to keep
Light off it.
I havent had a problem yet.

Interesting. So you are saying the reaction needs light to etch the hoppers?

Well there is a reason all powder bottles are black.
