Khornet wanted me to make him a device to sit on top of the powder in a Little Dandy powder measure. The device would help keep powder packing more consistant as powder level dropped.
I did some thinking, ordered a hunk of 1.5 inch 6061, and a few taps.
Spent 1.5 hours at the lathe tonight. Got the rod largely turned. Still need to thread the end and get it polished.
This is the part that sits on the powder. It needs the bottom faced off flat and 3 or 4 small holes drilled thru it to allow air to escape. This is required as it is only .030 smaller in diameter than the ID of the resevoir and I don't want it riding on a cushion of trapped air.
If time allows I should have most of it done tomorrow night.
This sure is cutting into my reloading time.
