I have 2 powder measures for my Dillon 550B, and one powder bar for each caliber I load (5 calibers so far; 9mm, .38 special, .223 Remington, .300 Winchester Magnum, and .220 Swift), so I can swap out the powder bar fairly quickly and not have to adjust the measure each time. I do weigh a powder drop before I start loading, just to make sure nothing shifted since the last time the powder bar was used.

Cheers!
