I'm needing a powder throw to complete my reloading kit. I have been looking at the Redding 3BR. Have any of you guys had any experience with this powder throw. Sir, I've used a Redding 3BR for many years, I replaced an RCBS Uniflow measure with it. It is an excellent tool for the purpose and quite precise given consistant operator interface. I won't say the Harrell's measures are more accurate except to mention that besides being significantly more expensive they are more forgiving of inconsistant operator technique. Truthfully, I think the 3BR measure is one of the best powder measures on the market and easily the best value. HTH, 7zero1. |

Redding's powder measures are among the best available without going the custom route. I own a BR-30 and it works very well. It will load any rifle round from 30-06 and smaller, maximum charge weight is about 50 grains with the BR-30. It was designed to throw benchrest weights in the 30 grain class (close to .223) with the most precision. It will also mount on a Dillon AT-500 or 550B if you want a better measure for extruded powders.
The only measures that I feel are superior to the Reddings is Harrell's Customs and Neil Jones and they are nearly twice the price and won't mount on a Dillon press. |
Added a baffle from Midway... this thing is so tightly made I can feel it cut grains of H335. Throws 25 gr almost dead on every time
