Yeah, I'm sure those are fightin words for most people. It would never enter my mind, we all have a mom we love and protect! (We need a smiley kiss face)

I'll likely get the auto for every head/pistol caliber I load for . It's really not that easy for me to remove . I have big fat fingers and they don't fit well in there . If the nut/screw is tight in any way I have to fight with it to get it off . At under $40 It's worth the zero hassles you end up with .

FWIW I was having a problem with mine and I put it up for awhile but pulled out last night and cracked out 100 rounds using CFE pistol checking the weights every 10 to 20 throws , It worked perfect . that was very encouraging .

I can say that I set it to 4.6 gns of titegroup with the powder hopper full, loaded 528 round of 45 acp with it and never had a charge vary more then a tenth of a grain. The last rounds I loaded were with the hopper almost empty, the funnel of it wasn't even full, and I was still getting 4.6 gns. Shot 250 of them them the other day and all went good as far as powder was concerned, I had one high primer.

SARuger, nice setup. If you have loads dialed in I see nothing wrong with multiple powder measures.

ericuda, you are correct SARuger has made a nice bench and I really like the fact that it is inside as mine is in an unheated garage.

However and to each his own the concept of having 7 or 8 powder measures and 2 or 3 separate sets of on-press priming tools takes the cost of a turret press into the area occupied by progressives.

I have one for nearly evety cartridge I reload. I've no regrets. Cost was low. I use mine and Lee dies on my dillon 550s. I will say that none of them throw a consistent charge with unique. Regardless, I'll buy more. Quick and easy.
