Talk to the Frog   He has the best solution!

Is Frog's a big secret or can we be let in on it??

SPOILER ALERT I'm going to tell the "big secret" of how to get the most performance (and cool factor) from your B&M powder measure.  The idea did not originate with me, nor do I take any credit for it, except for bringing it to the attention of some of the schuetzen community.

The bench rest boys discovered 40 or more years ago that a good volumetric measure gave them winning results, and the B&M design dropped some of the most consistent volumes due to its self-baffled cavity design.  Somebody got the great idea of making a new drop tube using a micrometer head as was/is available from Starrett and which had a shaft size about the same diameter as the plunger in the original drop tubes.  They mounted said micrometer head on the original or a similar sized piece of brass tubing (available from your plumbing supply) and voila' they were cooler than cool and more accurate than most.  

The most serious competition to this set-up was Homer Culver's micrometer conversion of the #5 & #55 Lyman/Ideal measures, which spawned a number of imitators culminating with the release of the Harrell line of purpose-built micrometer powder measures.  

Thus endeth the lesson!

When the boys in Pennsylvania re-introduced the B&M they offered a micrometer tube. Not click but has mike engraved barrel and nut.  I check weigh when I set it up however it repeats the same weight of charge for logged settings every time.

I suspect they used a lot of old B&M parts mixed in with whatever new they had to fabricate. Interesting they shipped them in obviously old B&M boxes.  Now I have to save the damn thing since if I ever sell the measure as we all we know cardboard doubles the price. It's on the shelf taking up space with several other very valuable cardboard boxes.
