The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Finally bought a decent Powder Measure, kind of a review.

I used a Lyman 55 for many years. To be honest I really never adjusted it correctly (used too much of the top adjustment instead of the bottom bar). But I parted ways with it and bought the Redding 3BR with both the pistol and universal micrometers. That was over 20 years ago.

I couldn't be happier than I am with the Redding! It is a quality piece of equipment. Accurate, repeatable (I record settings and grains by powder and plot them in Excel) and works great even with long grain powders that shear.

I think you will be very happy with the Redding.
