Herter's M65 Powder Charger - Experiences ?

Any opinions for the Herter's Charger?
* Solid metal
* Powder baffle
* Precision tight rotary drum
* With the tight drum, believe it will not even grind Alliant 300-MP
* Remove baffle and a 2" OD powder tube can be installed
* Only maximum 15gr charge bar Cry

This one is brand new with 4 drop tubes ...and for 35 bucks, I said "Why Not"
An experiences with this charger ? Thanks

Yes, Herters Model Perfect Pistol powder  measure.
Have one. Ok for fine powders, such as Bullseye, 
or ball powders,  but will want to bridge 
and hang up some powders.
I do like the ability to close off and tip out the plastic powder
bottles.

First experience with the Herter's M65:
* Ordered a clear 2" ID plastic tube - was missing when bought
* Needed a box of 38-72 reloads
* Poured IMR 4198 (stick powder) into the the tube
* Calibrated a 27.0gr powder drop
* Started cranking ... all drops were either 27.00 - 27.08 or 27.1x or 27.2x
Am totally impressed with 'the old Herters M65 especially with stick powder  Smiley

I have a Herters measure that I take to Spokane as a backup to my Harrells measure.  I can get very accurate charges out of it.  I still use it as my primary for SR4759 since it cuts grains easy.  Well worth the price.

Best deal on eBay.  I paid $36.59 & $45 for each of the 2 of them I bought.  And they are brand new  Smiley

Some things Old is better, just loaded a bunch of 4759 with my Belding & Mull. Measures stick powder better than the Harrells. 4227 Harrell’s wins by a large margin 

No reason that Herters won’t do a good job
