The other day I purchased a Lyman 55 at my LGS. It was on clearance and a good deal. When I got home and went to search for an online tutorial, I realized this is the now discontinued blackpowder model with the static free aluminum hopper. The Lyman website says it can be used for either black or smokeless powder. Does anyone have any experience with this particular powder measure? As far as I can tell, the only difference between this model is the aluminum versus plastic hopper. There isn't much info on the web about it. I do not load any blackpowder cartridges but if it works just fine for smokeless than I will just keep it since it was a bargain. I wanted to ask here before I used it in case I should need to exchange it for a different one. Thanks for any assistance you guys can provide. Here is a photo of it.
