Pyrex powder hoppers for all brands of powder measurers, I have one for my old RCBS DUO Measurer and they come with a baffle as well. They are a little pricey but you know the old saying buy once, cry once, very satisfied with mine. Thinking about getting one for my RCBS Little Dandy as well.

Went ahead an ordered a new Dram Worx hopper for my RCBS Little Dandy, the old tube was so dark it was hard to even see how much I was filling it. I should have it by next weekend, pics to follow.

Hopper, shipped today, should arrive on Monday.

I 3d printed a new hopper for my Lyman 55 powder measure. Built in baffle. Made it as tall as my 3d printer would go somewhere around 11 inches. So far, normal cheap ol PLA filament has had no problems or interactions with the two dozen powders I have used through it. Lots of RL7 has gone through it.

Got my Dram Worx hopper for the Little Dandy today, put it on and took a quick pic. I had mine cut to 6.5" in length instead of the usually supplied 8" version, even shortened it still hold twice as much powder as the original green tube. It attaches to the base with three set screws.

Nitroglycerin tabs come in a special glass vial that doesn’t allow the nitro to migrate into the container.

You never have a problem with it eating your powder measure?
Oops! I missed a question. I don't leave powder in my measure after a loading session. I empty it every time, then refill for the next go-around. I also double-check the charge weights after refilling, and every one hundred rounds or so when I stop to add more primers.

Well I use Bullseye, was thinking about Be 86 for a unique replacement, and just picked up some titegroup as a bullseye substitute. Go figure scored 100% on the above chart.
Glad to see this thread come back up as I am interested in the Dram Worx hoppers. Bookmark the website this time.

Bullseye is the only powder that would affect me, but not that much. I mainly use it for light plinking in cast rifle loads. Power Pistol, Blue Dot and all the other pistol powders I use and not an issue.

Well I’ve not been able to find Bullseye down here yet, but have picked up Titegroup as a replacement.
I need to better understand how Be 86 compares to Unique for use in pistol and more importantly rifle cartridges. I think it’s kinda parallels Unique and possibly burns cleaner. I have not used Be 86 yet but I’ve not run across any Unique in ages.

BE-86 is flash suppressed.
The powders I've tested (sealed in jars) seem to indicate flash suppressed powders tend to be the worst.
See post 113 to see what BE-86 does.
