really, any extruded powder.
I have been loading rifle cartridges with a Dillon RL-550B for several years and have been happy with performance of the press and the standard Dillon powder measure.
That is, until I started using IMR 4895 (and other) extruded (long grain) powders. It works, but the variation in charges (due to cut off grains of powder, etc.) has caused me to use my powder trickler a bit more than I'd like.
Are any of the other measures (any brand) better at handling long grain powders? I am trying to stay away from the high dollar, automatic dispense, trickle and weigh systems. That's for down the road.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kevin
