Title says it all. The green tube snapped off the powder measure. I was thinking of cutting it straight, chipping out the old plastic and re-inserting. Just wanted to check with the community for other ideas.
 
I had that part crack on me several years ago, so I got a replacement from RCBS. I also have a metal one, but can't remember if that came from RCBS or somewhere else. Ask about it when you call.
 
I am sure RCBS will replace it but if you want a $49 upgrade, you can get Pyrex instead of cheap acrylic.

I have some dramworx hoppers and consider them an essential item of powder measure tuning kit. They come with a nice made in USA sticker on them. I had a Crack form on one of them so messaged the owner. Ward called strait away and replaced it. And they sure are pretty.

(The dramworx stickers can be peeled off to just show USA flag)

I've toyed around with getting one of those for my Redding 10X for a year or more. Glad to hear you've had a good experience, I need to order one soon.
 
Chalk me up as another satisfied DramWorx customer. Owner is very customer oriented and takes pride in his product.

OP….if yours is a Little Dandy I may have a spare new tube laying around for free.
 
They have a glass one that won't get etched and you can order at different heights. Supposed to not be an issue with static either... my old powder drop has built in baffles in the tube so I just keep using it.

If you are talking about the drop tube on the bottom of the powder measure, it is threaded into the powder measure. Just figure a way to grip it and turn it out.

Call RCBS for a replacement.

In the past, they have had two model of the drop tube available with different diameter holes in them. A standard version for 22 caliber and up cases and one with a smaller hole for 17 caliber cases.
