Perfect Powder Measure VS the Deluxe Measure

Post by orerancher »

Have had a PPM forever, always did what I asked of It,Till now, I want 2.1g of Tight Group, The lowest I can get My PPM to Throw is 2.8g

Anyone know if the Deluxe will adjust down to 2 grains of TG.?

Thanks

Lee advertises that the PPM will throw charges down to 2 grains. I would contact Lee, and I am sure they would help you.

I have both but I've never needed to go to that small a charge. If the Delux would do it for you the interchangeable set it and forget drums make it worth while if you have some use it every time loads. I have 8 of them and they're all set for something I commonly use. There's the drum it comes with if I need to play with something new.

I think both the DeLuxe and Auto Drums will do it. I'm leaving right now for my patrol, but I will give it a try when I get back about 1. I do keep Titegroup on the shelf. The volume of the charge is .18 cc.

Sorry, I forgot! My hound just reminded me... "hey, did you check the TightGroup thing?"

The VMD of my 8 lb jug of TG is .0885. 1.8 cc should deliver 2-grains Ten throws, all right on the money.

For the record, I'm using the Auto Drum on the Load-Master with charges as little as 1-grain for the 25 Auto.
