How much powder can a Powder cop cop?

[Shrinkmd]

If a woodchuck could chuck wood?

But seriously, how many grains of Bullseye is the minimum the Hornady Powder Cop Die would be useful for?

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood.

Don't know on either question...

Problem with a powder cop is you have to keep your eye on it. I use the RCBS lockout die. Works without monitoring. The RCBS is not precise. With the powders I use it's range is about 3gr. If I'm loading 5gr, I can set it to stop the press at, for example, a low of about 3.5 and high of 6.5, depending on caliber and powder used. Since my power measure has yet to vary, and I'm only worried about squibs and severe overloads, it works fine for me. When the powder drop is out of the range, the press comes to an abrupt halt whether you're watching the die or not.

I believe that the Powder Cop is accurate to a grain or less.

I know that I can tell the difference between military brass and civilian brass with the Powder Cop. The Powder Cop will rise higher for military brass (thicker and usually less overall volume).

Wow, that will certainly prevent any squibs or double charges as long as I do my part. I'm looking forward to the big brown truck maybe next week...
