Anyone use one of these????
I just got it from ebay. I works great. Much better than my drum powder drop.

Hope I got it this time.
That's an old timer - hang onto it.

Got through loading 80 rounds with this. H4895. Worked better than my drum type measure. Didn't even have to use the trickler as all loads were within .01gr to .02gr.
I think it works like a Belding and Hull measure. I got this one for much much less.
Hornady bought out the Pacific line many years ago.

Just loaded 80 rounds with Unique powder. Once set I didn't have more than .2gr variation from load to load.
This thing is great. I wonder why it's not made anymore???
As stated above, because the Pacific brand was taken over by Hornady years ago. They still make them, just under the Hornady banner.

Checked with Hornady. They don't make this powder measure anymore. They don't have any parts for it.
Told you it was an old one! :D

I use mine for powders such as 4759, which tend to bridge the drop tubes on my Redding powder measures.
One thing about these measures, is you have to be carefull not to swing the hopper to the left, without the powder chamber inserted. Doesn't take long to dump the whole hopper full of powder on the floor. :( :( :(
Maybe that's why it was discontinued. :p
