The Redding Competition Model 10X Pistol & Small Rifle Powder Measure (Model: 03400) is a dedicated benchtop reloading powder measure engineered for uniform volumetric dispensing of smokeless powder. Built with a cast iron body, it utilizes a reduced-diameter metering cavity with a hemispherical cup shape scaled specifically to deliver high metering consistency for charges clustered around 10 grains. It mounts via standard 7/8"-14 threads and includes a front-of-bench mounting bracket, an internal powder baffle to maintain uniform column pressure, and an ambidextrous operating drum design.

Key Features

• Dedicated Small-Charge Metering: Features a specialized micrometer-adjustable metering chamber designed for volumetric accuracy across a 1.0 to 25.0 grain charge capacity.
• Zero-Backlash Micrometer: Universal micrometer adjustment unit with a positive drum lock allows repeatable charge settings and fine adjustments.
• Ambidextrous Configuration: The rotating drum can be inverted by removing the micrometer assembly, accommodating left- or right-handed bench placement as well as progressive press integration.
• Uniform Flow System: Includes an internal powder reservoir baffle and a weighted operating handle to encourage a consistent stroke cadence and steady powder settling.
• Calibre Drop Tube: Supplied with a standard drop tube fitting .22 to .50 calibre cartridge cases.

Who is the Redding Competition 10X Powder Measure for?

• Handgun competitive shooters — Requires precise charge throws within a dedicated 1.0 to 25.0 grains operating window for pistol cartridges, which this powder measure achieves via a reduced-diameter hemispherical metering cavity and a zero-backlash micrometer.
• Varmint rifle reloaders — Relies on consistent powder drop density for small-capacity rifle cases like .17 Hornet and .22 Hornet, utilizing the measure's 1.0 to 25.0 grains charge range and standard 7/8"-14 thread interface to maintain uniform low-volume bench reloading setups.

Less suitable for: Reloaders dispensing powder charges exceeding 25.0 grains (such as standard or magnum rifle cartridges) or anyone using black powder; these applications require switching to a large-capacity standard rifle powder measure and dedicated black-powder-compatible equipment.
