New Dillon Powder Measures


Recommended Posts

I've made the move to an open gun in 38 super comp. I have a new 650 with the new style powder measure and am using 4756 powder. The old style powder measures have always been within 0.1 grain plus or minus but this one was way off at time plus or minus 0.5 grains. 4756 is a new powder to me, but i had the same problem with 3n37 which has always metered well. When i changed back to the old style powder measure it seemed to do OK with the 4756. Whats up with that?

Ahhh...another customer for the Dillon Powder Measure Retrograde. We have what you need, friend.

How to "Downgrade" your new Dillon powder measure

I'm gonna make this a FAQ and pin it up. Hopefully most will be able to find it and end their suffering.

The above was from 2004. It's now nearing the end of 2007.

Anyone know if Dillon has "fixed" this "improvement"?

I think I'm ready to order a 550B based on Brian's Dillon FAQ.

Has any of that advice changed as well?

If you keep the failsafe rod tension adjusted as advised by Dillon, there really is no issue here. Some just prefer the old system. They each have pros and cons.
