Difference between powder measures

#1 · August 24, 2023, 7:20 pm

I just acquired a Dillon Super 1050 with one powder measure. I sold a Xl650 and kept one powder measure to allow between rifle and pistol changes easier. I noticed that the part no. for the powder measure for a 1050 is different than the one for a 650. Can anyone tell me what the difference is? They look the same to me.

Thanks

The only difference is that the powder die included with the 1050/1100 measures is heat treated for increased wear resistance. These powder dies are black oxide finished. The standard powder dies are silver zinc plated to prevent rust. No difference on the powder measure device itself.
