    Dillon powder measure

    Anybody having any luck running AR-Comp thru dillon measure. Cant get mine to stay within +/-.2 gr. Thats too much for me. This one has been dismantled and fully polished also. Where did the supply of 8208 go to? Cant find it anywhere this week.

          Is this a old or new style powder measure?
          Try wiping down with anti static wipes. Had similar problem way back when with Winchester 748 powder loading 223 on my 650.

            Great question. Recently got a bolt Grendel, did a bunch of research and got recommendations from the heads, settled on 8208XBR. Normally I search for the cheapest most convenient source of anything. With this stuff, a source at all would be a development.

                GET SOME SPRINGS, PUT EM UP LIKE OLD SCHOOL. Thank me later.

                The new setup is horrid, but if you add the springs back in, it's almost 100%. It's no precision drop, but it'll be within +/- .1 gr, which if your neck tension is good, you wont find much of an issue anyway. I've found loads I can run within .2 that just work. I can't stack those boxes in one hole at 100, but I can plink all day at 600 with confidence. Even on the 12" fox.

                    Dillon still offers the replacement springs for the old measures.



                    Select this from the drop down or call and ask for it:
