A couple years ago a friend stumbled across a plastic hopper B&M brand new in it's original box and offered it to me cheap, so I had to buy it. It just sits on a shelf looking pretty. I am just getting into the sport and will be using my belding and mull to start. Does the Barrels just give you more precise adjustments?

Do you mean "Harrells" vs. Barrels? If so I went to the Harrells because a few friends raved about theirs, and I found one cheap at an estate sale missing the hopper. Since hoppers are dirt cheap I ordered 5 of them from a medical supply company and started using it. The click adjustments make it very repeatable, and so much so that I can ask a friend his setting for a particular powder and charge, and dial in the same number of clicks and mine is right there. I keep different powders in their sealed hopper bottles, and have charges written on the side. Just screw them on the measure and dial in the clicks and it's ready to go again. Makes changing powders and charges super quick. And it is the most accurate measure I've used. Drawback is they're spendy. I could have bought two at the sale for $50 each, and left one like an idiot!

	Wow, Vall! You could have paid that $100 for just one and still been pretty well off. Getting 2 for that C note would have required a mask and gun around here! I’ve got a Culver style rotor in an old Ideal #5 body, as close as as I can afford to a Harrell on fixed income! Froggie

	For many years these have been the standard for loading black powder cartridges for silhouette matches. I recently tried mine for loading H-4350 and was surprised at how consistent and accurate it was.

	gnoahhh, I got talked into buying the V4 trickler from MacDonald Innovations the A&D fx scale that interfaces with it, it's linked with an app on my phone so what you are talking about... it's there. I have half a dozen B&M/Lyman/Harrell's measures and they're dust collectors now, so a brief warning - don't get sucked into this abyss, you'll be ruined with it's speed and accuracy, mostly the latter.
