Default Hornady small pistol powder measure

If I had 3 thumbs I would give it 3 thumbs up 👍! I put the small pistol insert in my Hornady measure before I started loading my 22H and .17HH cases yeesterday. The Lilgun dropped 12.5 with only 5-6 out of the first 50 at 12.4. When I set it for A1680 at 12.0 I checked the first 5 and they were all 12.0 and after that I would check 1-10 and in a box of 50 I got 1 that was 12.1 so out of 9 tries one was 12.1 grains. Other than the H4198, my Redding does a great job with every other rifle powder I use in .222,.223 and .204. H4198 still needs every charge weighed.

Sounds pretty good. BUT: in a tiny case, a tenth grain high
CAN and MAY blow your gun up!!!
BTDT myself once and was damned lucky not to eat any of it.

IF you load tiny cases fairly stiff, weigh each one and be safe.
IT only takes one blow up to blind you and wreck a fine gun,
maybe change the count of your fingers too.
