Montana Vintage Arms Visible Black Powder Measure

For those who reload blackpowder cartridges, measuring out precise charges can be a time-consuming endeavor. True, too, is the fact that dedicated blackpowder measures are few and far between on the reloading market.

Montana Vintage Arms’ Visible Black Powder Measure is a tool that not only speeds up blackpowder reloading time, it provides an accurate throw of blackpowder by volume that is consistent down to two-tenths of a grain by weight.

A baffle at the top of the measure body regulates powder flow, ensuring consistent measures. A micrometer-adjusted scale, which is included with the measure, allows users to dial in their preferred load.

The measure comes with a bench mounting plate, enabling loaders to remove it from the bench for added workspace when not in use.

Finely machined brass hoppers of varying sizes are available. MSRP is $225 (as tested).
