Redding Competition Model 10X Powder Measure
$257.68
The Redding Competition Model 10X Powder Measure is purpose-built for handloaders working with light powder charges in smaller cartridges and pistol rounds. If you're loading .223 Remington, .221 Fireball, .17 Hornet, or compact pistol cases and you need consistency in the 1–25 grain range, this scaled-down metering system delivers the precision that competition and accuracy-focused reloading demands. It retains the proven design foundation of Redding's BR-30 competition measure but with a reduced-capacity chamber optimized for the smaller powder volumes where tiny variances matter.
What sets the 10X apart is its fine-tuned control. The anti-backlash micrometer adjustment lets you dial in your charge weight with the repeatability serious handloaders expect, and the positive metering chamber lock holds your setting solid between throws. An adjustable powder baffle helps manage powder flow for consistent drops, reducing the fiddling that wastes time at the bench. Setup flexibility is built in: the measure adapts to either left- or right-hand operation depending on your reloading press layout.
The 10X isn't locked into a single mounting option either. It works with a bench-mounted bracket (included), making it ideal for a dedicated single-stage setup. It's also compatible with some progressive presses if you want to incorporate it into a multi-stage system, though its real home is where precision trumps speed—competition ammunition development, load development for accuracy testing, or serious riflemen who handload their match rounds to exacting standards.
