454bore Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Has anyone ever had a Dillon Powder Measure body anodized and if so was it beneficial? Thinking it would help with powder flow as well as prevent that dullness from developing over time. Thanks Edited June 16, 2021 by 454bore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anodization would make it look a bit nicer. However, I don't think they are made out of aluminum. Maybe someone can correct me there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) You cant anodize plastic. What I did on mine was buff the inside with graphite which also prevent the powder from clumping or clinging to the side.

BigMoneyGrip Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 The body of the powder measure appears to be made out of zinc. And you can't anodize zinc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7VY Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I polished all of it. Inside and out. It’s been years and it still looks the same, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlsccsfa Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 No, but have been wondering how much it would help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwenning Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Anodizing would make the surface rougher, you can expect the surface finish to be 2-3 rougher after anodize than before. E.g. if you were able to polish to an 8Ra finish after anodize it would wind up being 16-24Ra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
