Is the RCBS UPM Powder Measure Hopper Std II compatible with my older Uniflow Powder Measure III?

No, this replacement hopper is specifically designed for the RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure II (Model #9010) featuring a press-fit mounting interface. It is not compatible with the newer Uniflow Powder Measure III (UPM-3 / #9016), which requires a different replacement part.

Can I use this hopper for dispensing black powder on my reloading bench?

No, RCBS standard mechanical hoppers are strictly rated for smokeless propellants only, such as standard Australian ADI powders. Using plastic hoppers with black powder creates a severe risk of static discharge.

How should I install the replacement hopper onto my Uniflow II dispenser housing?

The hopper utilizes a press-fit alignment that seats directly into the metal dispenser casting base without any threads. For a secure fit, you can gently tap it evenly into place using a light mallet against a protected surface.

Does this plastic hopper require any electrical certification or Australian regulatory approvals?

No, the RCBS UPM Hopper is a completely passive, non-powered mechanical component requiring 0W of electrical power. Therefore, it does not need 240V mains power, an Australian power plug, or RCM/SAA electrical regulatory certifications.

Powder Measure Hopper - RCBS R9026

The RCBS UPM Powder Measure Hopper Std II (SKU: R9026) is a direct mechanical replacement reservoir designed to store and funnel smokeless propellant into an RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure II dispenser housing. Constructed from translucent, impact-resistant polymer, it allows handloaders to visually monitor propellant levels during reloading press operations while protecting powder from environmental dust and accidental spills. The hopper mounts directly into the metal dispenser casting via a friction-fit interface without threads, requiring 0W of electrical power for fully passive benchtop operation.

Key Features

Direct Press-Fit Interface: Installs securely into the unthreaded casting base of the dispenser assembly, seating evenly with light mallet pressure.
Translucent Polymer Construction: Provides immediate visual tracking of remaining smokeless powder volume without removing the top cap.
Contaminant Enclosure: Seals propellant within the measure during operation to prevent spillage and block airborne debris.
Smokeless Powder Compatibility: Engineered for use with standard extruded/stick, flake, and ball smokeless propellants across standard rifle and pistol charge ranges from 0.5 to 100+ grains.

Who is the RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure II Hopper for?

Standard Rifle and Handgun Reloaders — dispensing single powder charges between 0.5 to 100+ grains of smokeless stick, flake, or ball powder using a dedicated benchtop powder measure replacement hopper.
RCBS Uniflow II Owners — replacing an original tube on a press measure that stands approximately 6 to 7 inches tall and weighs under 150 grams after the original reservoir has suffered chemical etching or degradation from nitrocellulose compounds.

Less suitable for: Black powder charging setups due to static discharge safety hazards, or measures requiring capacities exceeding 100+ grains per throw (up to 250 grains), which require a dedicated brass black powder dispenser or a high-capacity powder measure assembly; also incompatible with the Uniflow Powder Measure III (UPM-3 / #9016), which requires a dedicated threaded replacement hopper.
