Powder

This is a Hornady powder measure attached to a Lee Universal Powder Die with a custom made thread adapter.

I would not be able to use a Hornady LnL case-activated measure to reload this caliber, as the case is too short to fully actuate the powder measure.

A Lee disk-type measure would work in a Lee powder-thru die for case-activated measuring.

Here, powder is dropped manually, but the big advantage is that I can drop any weight of powder reliably from 0.2 grains and up, which with a Lee disk measure needs a micro-disk, and you have no flexibility in making fine charge adjustments.

I have a pistol rotor fitted here, and the insert is set to drop 1.4 grains MP200.

The most challenging aspect of reloading this caliber is not to leak powder all over the place. This setup has it under control with zero spillage, and no manual handling of powder.

Charging
