Description
The Frankford Arsenal Bench Top Powder Measure is built for reloaders who want consistent, repeatable charges without babysitting every throw. The body is machined from static-free aluminum, which cuts down on the powder clinging that plagues cheaper plastic units, and the whole thing has real heft to it. Mount it to your bench with the included plate and you've got a solid, no-wobble dispensing station that feels like a serious piece of gear the first time you pick it up.
What Sets the Bench Top Powder Measure Apart
The drum rides on ball bearings, so the handle cycles smooth and even, and that smoothness is a big part of why the charges stay consistent run after run. The micrometer powder stem lets you dial in precise weight adjustments from 10 to 100 grains, which covers the vast majority of rifle loads and plenty of pistol work too. The nozzle design is set up to work with most cartridges from .22 all the way up to .50 cal, so whether you're loading small varmint rounds or stepping up to bigger bores, this measure keeps up.
How the Frankford Arsenal Measure Handles Powder
Frankford put some thought into the hopper geometry. The unique shape is meant to keep powder flowing freely and prevent the bridging and binding that can throw off your charges mid-session. Spherical and ball powders meter beautifully through it, and the micrometer makes getting back to a known setting quick when you switch loads. If you run a lot of smaller pistol charges, a dedicated handgun powder drum is available separately, and folks who bounce between rifle and pistol work tend to keep one on hand for that reason.
Getting the Most From Your Bench Top Powder Measure
Reloaders who've put this unit through high-volume sessions report charges staying dead-on when spot-checked against a digital scale, which is exactly what you want from a bench measure. It ships ready to install with the bench mounting plate, so setup is straightforward and you can be throwing charges the same day it lands on your bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What charge range does the Bench Top Powder Measure cover?
The micrometer powder stem dials in from 10 to 100 grains, which handles the bulk of rifle loads and a good chunk of pistol work. The nozzle is designed to work with most cartridges from .22 up to .50 cal. That range makes it a flexible choice for a bench that sees a variety of calibers.
Does it come with everything needed to mount it to a bench?
Yes, the measure ships ready to install with a bench mounting plate included in the box. You just secure the plate to your bench and attach the unit. Setup is quick, so you can get to throwing charges the same day it arrives.
Is it better suited for rifle powders or pistol charges?
The standard rifle drum shines with rifle and larger charges, and spherical or ball powders meter particularly well. For lighter pistol charges, Frankford Arsenal offers a separate handgun powder drum that fine-tunes the smaller volumes. Reloaders who bounce between the two often keep both drums on hand.
How consistent are the charges from this powder measure?
The drum rides on ball bearings for a smooth, even cycle, which is a big part of what keeps the thrown weights repeatable. High-volume users report charges holding steady when spot-checked against a digital scale across hundreds of rounds. As with any volumetric measure, a quick verification on a scale when you first set up a load is good practice.
