Hornady Bench Rest Powder - Measure
The Hornady Bench Rest Powder Measure is engineered for reloaders who demand consistency and repeatability from their ammunition. Built on Hornady's Lock-N-Load platform, this powder measure combines quick-change convenience with the precision needed for accurate, tight-tolerance loads. Whether you're fine-tuning rifle rounds for hunting or building match-grade ammo for the range, this measure delivers the uniform powder charges that separate good loads from great ones.
What sets the Bench Rest apart is its specialized metering insert and compact metering chamber—a design that promotes more uniform powder filling with every stroke. The micrometer adjustment dial gives you positive, repeatable reference points when dialing in your charge weight, eliminating guesswork. Pre-set metering units snap in place with a button press on the chamber, and switching between them requires no disassembly or hopper draining. For even faster powder recovery, pair this measure with the optional Drain Tube Insert to funnel excess powder straight back into your container.
The Bench Rest is built to last. All moving parts are plated for corrosion resistance and durability, and the rotor operates maintenance-free—no lubrication needed. Charge weights range from 20 to 65 grains, covering most rifle and pistol calibers. If you're already invested in Hornady's Lock-N-Load system, this measure slots right in; if you're starting fresh, the system's modular design makes it easy to expand.

The Bench Rest adjusts from 20 to 65 grains, covering most rifle and pistol cartridges.
Do I need to disassemble the measure or drain the hopper to change metering units?
No. Pre-set metering units install by pressing a button on the outside of the metering chamber. If you want to recover unused powder, the optional Drain Tube Insert (sold separately) lets you funnel powder back into its container without disassembly.
