Looks to me like a RCBS/LNL rotary measure with no failsafe linkages that someone painted a less than ideal shade of blue.
Just having a little fun but can't get anything by you. You must be a real treat at parties.
Ha! That was my first problem with Dillon.........everything but a 1050 is painted a less than ideal shade of blue. I like their stuff fine....just hate the baby blue in my garage. What can I say,.....we all have colors we cringe over....mine is baby blue except on a baby boy.......that someone painted a less than ideal shade of blue.
RCBS’ pitch on the rounded end of the stem is that it fits the curvature of the cylinder housing, such that a zero setting on the adjustment scale really means zero. Outstanding! I’ve been desperately seeking a powder measure that could accurately throw a zero charge......also wonder whether the new Uniflow 3 with it's rounded stem does better than flat or worse.....have yet to test that. I know some of the Reddings have their stems rounded ..... the other way..... so they have a round cavity bottom like a pill bottle.

That sure looks like a blue-painted Hornady.ll Dillon product or same casting painted blue instead of red or green?
Ive used the Lee (so called Perfect powder measure)a good bit. It actually does do very well with large stick powders...if one wanted to fill caes off press. The trouble with it...its too cheap and flimsy to mount on a press. Its does suprise me how well it works, being so said flimsyHa!

I thought of painting my highly modified Hornady pistol bullet feeder green, but I thought better of it. 1. the exact color is impossible to find in a spray can....2. red goes with green just fine.
IME none of the P.M.'s do big stick powder that well.....but the RCBS/Hornady do it better than a slide type. The Lee? Never tried a "Perfect rubber sweepered Lee, some swear by them, some swear at them. Wonder what the ammo factories use.......also wonder whether the new Uniflow 3 with it's rounded stem does better than flat or worse.....have yet to test that.

With Dillion, everything works great with the exception of their powder measures. They work geat with flake powders, they work OK with ball powders...but when it comes to stick powder.....****...LOL. They are beyond a joke. They plain dont work for stick powders...
I wonder how many people saw this post and sent Dillon emails asking where they can get one of these powder measures?
