Just an FYI.

I had to purchase a .50 cal. powder drop tube sleeve from Redding for my 3BR Powder Measure. I tried to use the supplied factory 3BR drop tube to drop some powder into my S&W 500 cases, but it just wasn't working well. I was getting some spillage.

The Redding sleeve arrived over the weekend, and I plan to get it mounted onto the factory sleeve this weekend. I may have to use some dry neck lube to get it on. It is a very tight fit.

Here are some pictures with a PN just in case anyone here may need a larger opening in their powder drop tube.

Can you open it up just a little? Maybe with a countersink bit or similar? A drill bit might grab and tear it up so I would probably avoid that.
