Loading 50 BMG is a different animal than running standard rifle rounds, and a regular powder measure just can't keep up with charges that run well past 200 grains. The Hornady 50 BMG Lock-N-Load Powder Measure is built specifically for that job, throwing the extremely large powder charges the 50 BMG and other oversized magnums call for. It drops anywhere from 165 to 265 grains in a single throw, so you're not double-metering or working around the limits of a standard-capacity unit.
The heart of this measure is its extra-large hopper and metering unit. The oversized hopper holds enough powder to charge a pile of cases before you ever need a refill, which keeps the rhythm going when you're loading a session's worth of ammo. Construction is a mix of aluminum, steel, and plastic, and it mounts solidly to your bench or press using the included mounting plate.
One feature reloaders appreciate on the 50 BMG measure is the see-through extended drop tube. With charges this large, being able to visually confirm that the full powder charge made it into the case is a real advantage, and the clear tube lets you check every drop at a glance. The quick-change Lock-N-Load metering system also means you can swap inserts and rotors to fine-tune your throws, and with the right accessories the platform can handle charges all the way down to half a grain for other calibers.
Users consistently note that this measure drops accurate, repeatable charges with popular 50 BMG propellants like H50BMG, US869, Reloder 50, and 20N29. If you're reloading the big fifty, this is purpose-built hardware from a name that's been in the reloading game a long time, and it takes the guesswork out of handling those heavy charges.
It's designed to drop from 165 to 265 grains of powder in a single throw, which covers the heavy charges the 50 BMG and other large magnums require. With the correct additional inserts and rotors, the Lock-N-Load platform can meter charges as small as half a grain for other calibers.
This measure is purpose-built for the extremely large charges the 50 BMG needs, so the included metering insert handles the big stuff. To throw smaller rifle or pistol charges you'd need to add the appropriate optional metering inserts and rotors, which are sold separately.
It comes with a mounting plate that lets you secure it to your bench or press. Once it's mounted solidly, you get a consistent, repeatable throw every time you cycle the handle.
Yes. The see-through extended drop tube is one of the standout features, letting you visually confirm the full charge dropped into the case. With charges this large, that extra verification is a nice bit of peace of mind.
