Adjustable Brass Powder Measure
« on: July 06, 2011, 05:04:05 AM »
Someone asked if I would make up an 18th century style adjustable powder measure.  I made this one and, I have to say, it was a huge pain to do.  It throws 35 to 125 grains of FFg.

Nice work.  It looks to be very period correct and would work well for a fowler and any other gun in which more than one charge may be used.

Looks like a great interruption of an old style powder measure.
