I don't know if he makes them, but he sells them.

Heavy metal measures attached to bag straps tend to make dents in stocks, at least on FS guns.
I like a fixed capacity  light tin or a horn measure on the strap.

I just bought a pair of those measures at the Assoc of Ohio Longrifle Collectors this fall. I find them to be a very nice product! The makers name on the measure seems to be "K. Kuehn"

Bruce is correct, the maker is Karl Kuehn. He makes them in several sizes, pistol, rifle etc. He can be reached at kkuehn_68@msn.com.

Only if you let them dangle around on the end of a long tether.

I, also, use fixed capacity measures, but, most shooters will still need an adjustable powder measure to determine the proper powder charge and to establish what size to make the tin or horn measure.

Brad Mills (son of Joe) makes some nice adjustable measures in that style as well.  His usually are not marked so you have to calibrate and mark them yourself, but they are well made and have a nice antique look.  Sometimes Brad or Art Riser have a couple for sale.  Here is his contact info:

http://www.longrifle.ws/artisans/artisan.asp?ID=400&membersonly=yes

In addition to being attached to the bag strap, on Joe's and Brad's bags that have these measures on them they often sew a small tab sewn onto the strap to form a little sheath to keep the measure in place - slip it out when you use it, secure it before you move on. It prevents it from bouncing around against the stock when you are walking.
