My ammo works fine outdoors and never needs electricity.

The Autoscale itself can easily be operated in a wind protected enclosure using a 9VDC 200 mA power source.

I dispense my powder with an Autoscale.
It does not cut powder kernels regardless of size.
Rather than fault 4227 of one type or another I would fault your rotating drum measure.
The Autoscale will even dispense the huge SR4759 grains and the long H4831grains without cutting one single grain.

But, how do they work in outdoor match conditions, with or w/o Electricity?

Anyone have any of the metal screw on lids for the current 1 pound IMR cans laying around that they can part with?  I had some lids rust away on me and need to replace them.

Thanks

OK, fill us in. Usually the can gets rusty long before the lid.

You might want to check with your friends to see if they have an empty HDPE container you can transfer it into for safe keeping.

Your saying that the round, black plastic bottle's lid rusted out? Not the older type, metal can?

Geez Frank the HDPE bottles and lids cannot rust so how is it that you came up with asking such a question curious minds would really like to know.

If you have lids rusted to the point the powder is exposed you better have someone that knows powders take a look at your stock before attempting a reload. Smokeless powders are designed to burn but when left exposed to air the retardants dry up and the powder becomes bomb material and will turn your rifle into shrapnel. Take heed and good luck.

Geez JL,
I don't know how (or care) you got so ignorant about reloading, regarding single shots but, the red thing at the top of the current 4227 bottle, is made of steel and to the best of my knowledge, steel, still rusts!

Some hdpe allows moisture to pass through the walls of the plastic.
Ran into that with some brush-on buffing compound that came packaged in hdpe bottles which were unopened with still properly sealed lids, but the contents had dried out.

My goodness sakes Frank it amazes just how far behind the current times you really are or maybe I should say how long it's been since you have purchased a new pound of powder?

What's the new powder packaging look like, John?

Now that's interesting BP I go through 8lbs. of 300MP maybe a bit faster than it can occur as I have never experienced any such ill effects with the HDPE containers out my way. Might have to do more with the variety of the powder and it's contents than it does the actual container being used? I would have also mentioned proper storage practices but I really don't adhere to any it just sits in a cabinet on a shelf out in the garage all year long in an uncontrolled environment.

John,
When I ran into that dried out compound, I called the supplier and they told me about the hdpe allowing moisture to pass through the walls of the plastic. They sent replacement compound with a note to transfer it into glass jars with a rubber sealing ring. Haven't had a problem since.
