Hornady Lock and Load Powder measure rotor

golfnutrlv · December 22, 2012, 08:12 PM

Hey all,

So I have had my LnL AP for about a month now, and absolutely love it! I'm interested in getting the micrometer to make dialing charges more precise.

I know I need the pistol rotor to use this. My powder measure came with two rotors, one is marked "small pistol".

Is this the one I need to use the pistol micrometer?? Can't seem to find any for sure confirmation in the manual.

Here is the listing with the part number:

Thank all!

I got one for my LnL AP and love it. I don't remember the part number.

I suggest you call Hornady and ask. Their customer service is outstanding.

Yes.

I've been debating getting them for my large centerfire calibers, but since the stick powders I use only meter "so" accurately anyway, I'm not confident it would make a difference.

The rifle piston has a large diameter hole and diameter piston. For pistols use the smaller diamter hole rotor and piston.

Thank everyone. Pick one up next trip to Cabelas!

It depends. Have you been using stick powder or ball powder?

When I was using stick powder I also bought the micrometer, but after I bought it, it didn't help me at all. It turns out that for the LnL AP I was supposed to be using ball powder because it measures like water, and it does.

Now I use it because I have it, but I suspect that I could have done without it had I had used ball powder in the first place.

I don't think it is an in store item. Call them first before you make the trip.
