powder measure compatibility

[engineermike]

i am setting up my reloading equipment, after relocating, and am now down to installing my Hornady powder measure on my bench. I am thinking about putting it on a stand this time and I am wondering if I will have to buy a Hornady stand or will an RCBS or Redding stand work? I am also open to other ideas...

I have one of these. It has a lot of ways to adjust.

If you have a Hornady Lock-N-Load Powder Measure as shown in the link then the RCBS or Redding stand will work fine. Any stand that will accommodate the 7/8 - 14 threads will work.

For $19.00 what bother making one, providing you have something else to buy to offset shopping charges.

Yes the colors clash but very festive this time of year

I see a lot of the Benchrest shooters using this one.

I like to build "stuff" ... so here is my version....

That's cool. I like it. Home made stuff is fun.

That really is a nice stand and if the color clash bothers you, the Hornady color is Rust-oleum's Regal Red (7765)

Nice, simple, easy design.

Very nice.

Just because.

Thank for the comments!!

All the material but the 7/8" nut and 1/4" bolts ... was scrap metal out of the scrap pile ... took a little time tapping the aluminum spacers ... the rod already had a perfect size hole extruded in it for the tap ... the flat sides aluminum is from a discarded stop sign ... probably got less than $10 in it including the can of spray paint....

I get in no hurry when building "stuff" ... because I may change the design along the way ... if I get in a hurry I almost always have to go back and redo something ... you can see a couple extra holes ... I changed the design so the Micrometer stem of the RCBS Uniflow would pass between the sides of the stand ....

I have an improvement for the stand ... when I get it finished I update you all with the results ...

I have the hornady powder stand--it means I can add a LnL bushing to any powder measure and simply slip it in and out. I have different measures so the swapability is nice.

If you only have one, that's much less important.

Mine is mounted to a piece of stair tread so I can move it off the bench as I desire. I have attached a small funnel so that when I dump a charge into the scale pan, it's easy to dump it back in the case using the funnel.

Jim Kirk, that's a well thought out design. It does what most of the others linked to here won't do. It gives enough clearance under it to allow an entire loading block full of cases to pass under it. That Sinclair stand could only do the outside row of cases in a loading block.

Now I understand that some throw a charge into a scale pan under the target to trickle up to the exact charge, then any stands shown would work. Depends on if you're in the by volume crowd or the exact charge weight crowd.

I also like the Hornady stand so I can use the LNL Bushing which only requires a quick twist to remove the powder measure to dump unused powder back into its
container.
