Is a CHEAP drum powder measure accurate enough? Let's find out!
Is your drum powder measure accurate enough? The TLDW: Yes, it is! I tested the consistency of a $300 RCBS Chargemaster Lite Electronic Powder Measure versus a $25-ish Lee Perfect Powder Measure. The powders I used for this test are IMR 3031 (an extruded powder) and Winchester StaBALL 6.5 (a ball powder). I'll briefly cover my testing methodology, show you the results, and cover some pros and cons of each powder measure!
