auto progressive press with external powder measure

[pby5cat]

So I have a chargemaster 1500 powder measure that works fine, but my press is a hornady LnL auto progressive. Is there some die I can use that will allow a funnel or something to be placed on the neck so I can dumb the charge in?

that is how I do it with my dillon 650, I used a 338 norma case cut down to fit in the powder die and put a rcbs funnel on top of that, it works great

That's how I do it on my 550. I have a funnel in the powder die to dump the powder in.

I use a caliber specific Satern funnel.

I just drop it in one of the holes in the toolhead. The cone-shape of the funnel allows it to self-center; the case will automatically engage the funnel, then lift it up on the ram upstroke.

The Dillon RL450 powder die. The also have a funnel for it, and you need to get the insert for the caliber your loading.

That's what I do on my 650 although the funnel is hit by the primer magazine. Had to modify the funnel a little.

If you do this, a real important warning. DO NOT POUR POWDER INTO FUNNEL UNLESS RAM IS FULLY RAISED (Handle down)!!!! If you forget this you will become real accomplished at cleaning your press

Let's just say that I became a real expert after the first couple of memory lapses.

I'm working toward this, except with a 650

Darn Powder Measure costs as much as three presses I hear that you have to wait a year or two after ordering to actually receive it too.

Dillon has a die and funnel on their BL 550. You can find it on their(bluepress) site by doing a search for funnel.

I bought one of these, but prefer the satern for a couple reasons.

First, its bigger making it more difficult to spill when pouring into from the pan.

Secondly, the satern is lifted by the case, giving visual indication it's ready for charging.

Deadshot2 it was worth the time/money

On my 550, i use the cartridge specific internal powder funnel with a Saturn funnel on top. This was the origional Saturn funnel and it fits the inside of the powder die really well. I'm not sure how well the newer version works but they look different.
