Title: Adjustable powder measures
Post by: B.Barker on February 13, 2018, 03:00:16 AM: Made a couple of these on a whim a couple of years ago. I've seen brass originals but never with any engraving. But I like wriggle work and came up with these. I really didn't think they would be a wanted item but it turns out quite a few have liked them too. Can't keep one in the shop these days.

Nice work.
