Is this a decent choice for stick powders?

I will only be using it to throw a low charge and then trickle up.

I was all set to order another Hornady measure but it seemed kind of a waste. I have several of the Hornady measures but they're all set up as case activated drops for specific calibers and I'm way too lazy to swap them around

It can stick a bit but I really like them. Honestly, I find them pretty accurate once adjusted. Varget's hardly easy to meter, but it does ok. I've used various expensive ones and while they may be smoother, more nicely finished, with metal bodies and such, the end result isn't much different on the scale.

It will work great to dispense the actual charge.
If you are going to trickle anyway, make a dipper.

I thought about that but with the measure I'd still be able to throw varying charges of easier to meter stuff if i need to.

This, I used it a lot until I got a charge master.  It worked fine, especially at the price point.

I'm going to go ahead and try it out. Can't really go wrong for $25

It's all I've ever used. Throws stick powders decently.

It's "perfect" for your intended use.
