Description
The Redding Competition Model 10X takes everything that made the BR-30 competition measure a favorite and shrinks the metering mechanism down for the lightest charges you'll throw. Redding reduced the diameter of the metering cavity and gave the plunger the same hemispherical cup shape found in the BR-30, which is exactly what you want when you're trying to drop tiny, consistent charges without the scatter you get from a general-purpose measure stretched past its comfort zone.
The target charge weight here is right around 10 grains, with an accurate working range of roughly 1 to 25 grains. That puts it squarely in the sweet spot for most pistol calibers and smaller rifle cartridges, where a few tenths of a grain really shows up on paper. A clear powder reservoir lets you keep an eye on your supply, and an adjustable baffle sits above the metering chamber to hold a constant column of powder so every throw sees the same pressure. That baffle detail is a big part of why charge-to-charge uniformity stays tight through a long loading session.
What Sets the 10X Measure Apart
The test tube style bottom is one of those small engineering touches that pays off over hundreds of throws. It promotes smooth, repeatable metering instead of the inconsistency you can get with abrupt powder drops. The drum assembly is also reversible, so you can set it up for right-hand or left-hand operation depending on how your bench is laid out and which hand runs the crank.
Mounting the Redding 10X on Your Bench
A bench-front mounting bracket comes in the box, and the frame uses a standard 7/8-14 lock ring setup. If you'd rather have it up and out where loading blocks fit underneath the spout, the measure threads into the optional RS-6 bench stand, which isn't threaded itself so you can rotate the whole unit to any angle and dump leftover powder quickly at the end of the day.
For precision pistol and small rifle loaders who care more about repeatability than cranking out volume, the 10X is a specialized tool that earns its spot on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What charge weight range does the Redding 10X powder measure work best with?
The 10X is designed around a target charge of about 10 grains and holds an accurate range of roughly 1 to 25 grains. That makes it well suited for most pistol calibers and smaller rifle cartridges. It's a specialized small-capacity measure, so it isn't the right tool for throwing large rifle charges.
Can the 10X be set up for left-handed use?
Yes. The drum assembly can be changed from right-hand to left-hand operation, so you can run the crank with whichever hand suits your bench setup. It's a simple swap that makes the measure comfortable for a wider range of loaders.
How does the Redding 10X keep charges consistent?
It borrows the hemispherical metering plunger design from Redding's BR-30 competition measure and pairs it with a reduced metering cavity for light charges. An adjustable baffle sits above the metering chamber to maintain a constant column of powder, which keeps pressure uniform from throw to throw. The test tube style bottom also helps promote smooth, repeatable metering.
What do I need to mount the 10X measure?
A bench-front mounting bracket is included and the measure uses a standard 7/8-14 lock ring. If you want more clearance under the spout for loading blocks, the optional RS-6 bench stand threads on and lets you rotate the measure to any angle. The bench stand is sold separately.
