Powder Weasure from Cracked Brass

[garage nut]

With the LockDown, I am also stocking up on ammo for the hunting season.

This time I managed to break the little plastic measuring spoon one get when you buy the scale.

Solution, Cut down a cracked brass case, and then keep trimming it down till 2 measures is just about 100% the correct load.

I weigh every load so final adjustment is made with a tweezers.



Once it is the correct length, solder some copper wire to it to create a handle. The nice thing is you can optimize the angle as the powder in the tin goes down.

The plastic measure was always 2 and a bit scoops and too short a handle when the tin was just about empty.
