Q: Can the Quick Measure be used with 17 and 20 calibers?   A: Yes: The standard funnel has plastic inserts that will adapt to 17 and 20 caliber, or you can order the metal Ultimate Funnel which uses caliber specific inserts. We make 25 different inserts starting with 17 caliber and go up to the 50BMG.   

Q: Will your Quick Measure funnels work with the WSM, WSSM and Ultramag cases.

A: The standard funnel has plastic inserts that will adapt to these large cases or you can order the all metal, Ultimate Funnel where all of the inserts will handle these large cases and all Ackley improved cases.    

Q: How does the Quick Measure handle extruded powders like 4350 and 4831?   A: The Quick Measure was designed to handle all powders including long stick powders, flake powders and ball powders.   

Q: Is the Quick Measure easily adjusted? 

A: You can purchase extra tubes and set one for each of your pet loads and just exchange tubes to go from one charge to another (this takes about 5 seconds).Or once you have adjusted the charge tube to throw a pet charge you can remove it from the measure and insert it into the optional Setting Gauge. If you record this reading you can return the charge tube to this setting in a few seconds. This is a very accurate repeatable system.   

Q: Will the Quick Measure system allow me to charge directly into the cartridge case?  

A: Yes, you hold the special funnel (included with each measure) over the case (still in the loading block) and with the other hand lower the Quick Measure onto the operating button, hesitate for about one second, then lift to discharge the powder into the case. This system will charge 100 cases in about four minutes.    

Q: Can the adjusting screw be locked in position once it has been adjusted?  

A: We now provide a friction "O" ring which allows for adjusting but resists accidental movement of the screw.     

Q: Can I mount the Quick Measure on a progressive reloading press?   

A: We make a Progressive Adapter that will fit on any progressive press that has 7/8 X 14 threaded die holes. Look on our website under the tab "Progressive Adapter". 

Q: Does your Progressive Adapter mounting system have powder bridging problems? 

A: No. By using the optional Bridge Breaker, we have eliminated powder bridging even with long stick powders like 4831 or 4350 in small 22 caliber necks.  

Q: Will I be restricted to using certain powders with the Quick Measure on my progressive press?  

A: No, you may use all powders with the Quick Measure system including stick, flake and ball powders.   

Q: Is it difficult to move the Quick Measure from one tool head to another? 

A: No, loosen one setscrew, lift the Progressive Adapter, set it on the powder die on the next tool head and tighten the setscrew. This takes about 30 seconds (no need to purchase a separate powder measure for each tool head.   

Q: Is it difficult to adjust the Quick Measure if I mount it on a progressive press?   A: No, with the interchangeable charge tubes just install another pre-adjusted charge tube and reset the measure height (this takes about 15 seconds) or remove the existing tube, reset the adjusting screw with the setting gauge and reset the height.
