Lyman Powder Measure

[Trooper74]

Just started loading for my new Ruger (.45 ACP) Using the large drop tube the casing just barely covers the end. Has anyone had this problem. Hands are not the steadiness and I am afraid I will spill powder. Any help greatly appreciated

What powder are you using and what charge weight? What bullet? You got to tell us more so we can figure out what is happening.

Never had a problem.
A .45 case fits in mine at least 1/8".

I have three of them and wouldn't use anything else.

HP-38, 5.2g, Montana Gold 200g, JFN. I guess I am use to the .223 fits up farther in the small drop tube. Thanks

My cases fit like Mr rc's about 1/8" inside, the drop tube is "funneled" in the end so if you hold that case up in there you won't spill anything,,,

Yes.

BTW: Using the large one with .223 is what will spill your powder!

Use the small drop tube on .223. Thanks for the picture looks like it is aluminum. Bought mine in '73 blued steel. Going to have a friend of mine machine me exactly what I want. Thanks for all your help guys
