The Hornady Fast Load Powder Measure Stand (Model 050008) is a dedicated bench-mounted reloading support designed to elevate manual powder dispensers above the work surface. Built from rigid cast iron finished in Hornady red, the stand features an extended cantilever arm with high vertical clearance. This extra reach allows handloaders to slide an entire loading block underneath the drop tube, charging individual cartridge cases in sequence across the block without lifting each case to the dispenser. It mounts securely to any standard workbench via user-supplied hardware and operates completely mechanically without electrical power requirements.

Key Features:

• Extended Cantilever Reach: Engineered to provide clearance over a standard 50-round reloading tray, allowing continuous powder charging across an entire cartridge batch directly on the bench.
• Lock-N-Load Quick-Change Bushing System: Incorporates Hornady's bushing design to permit swapping or detaching powder measures with a 1/6th twist, preserving precision die and thread settings between reloading sessions.
• Universal Thread Interface: Features standard 7/8"-14 threading to support Hornady Lock-N-Load dispensers as well as competitor manual rotary powder measures using the same die thread pattern.
• Rigid Cast Iron Construction: Weighs approximately 1.10 lb to 1.31 lb (0.50 kg to 0.59 kg) to eliminate flex and stabilize the powder measure during repetitive manual rotor cycling.

Who is the Hornady Fast Load Powder Measure Stand for?

• Batch-Loading Handloaders — Designed with high clearance underneath the drop tube to clear an entire 50-round reloading tray, enabling reloaders to charge rifle and pistol cases sequentially without pulling individual cases out of the block.
• Users of Standard Manual Powder Dispensers — Features an integrated Lock-N-Load bushing that accepts any standard 7/8"-14 threaded powder measure or accessory, anchoring dispensers to a stable 1.10 lb to 1.31 lb cast iron bench mount for off-press operation.

Less suitable for: Progressive reloading setups that require a case-activated, press-mounted powder drop system directly on the toolhead, or reloaders utilising standalone electronic scale and dispenser units that operate independently of 7/8"-14 bench brackets.
