Ohaus powder measure

[lilguy]

I need a new drop tube for my Ohaus powder measure. I made a new hopper out of PVC and a MEC hopper. The drop tube is not so simple, anyone know where one might be found?

Are you sure the RCBS drop tubes don't fit? That'd be my first try.

 

[lilguy]

No, they don't supply it anymore.

I can send you the dimensions of mine of you need them. I can't imagine where you'll find one.

If you can provide the dimensions and I'll try to turn one out of a piece of acrylic on my lathe for him.

Thanks guys, I reinforced it with JB weld. No one makes it any more, RCBS make ones that thread into one of their units and use to make a replacement
but not anymore.

You might try Redding. I got a new one for my old Redding measure a few years ago.

I use RCBS on my Ohaus measure.
Opend up the connector end with emory cloth for a pretty tight fit.
Still use a little black plastitape for insurance.
RCBS make 2 sizes of tubes for different case mouth sizes, getum both.
I also made use of MEC shot bottle for powder hopper.
Best measurer made.

I have one I never use any more. Lost the hopper years ago in a move and have since used a MEC bottle in its place.
Pretty sure I still have the drop tube. Took it to a swap meet at the range a while back and no one knew what it was.
