I picked one up and it is a pretty slick little gidgit for sure. Easy to use and operate especially if you read the instructions. LOL Yea I just threw mine together when I got it then several months later I'm like what the heck?? Where did that little paper go. LOL It works out pretty slick, but any other drum type measure some powders work better with it than others do. Just be sure you measure several loads to check the consistency with each particular powder.

I have the little Dandy system, like all other owners, I knew it worked on volume. Never thought of spending more money, I did manage a simple way to change the volume. The change turned the rotors into manual variable rotors.

Life is not fair, rotors cost me $5.00 each.

picked up a little dandy, used from a buddy of mine... he's a machinist, so I got 4-5 home machined rotors plus one factory... I'm interested in one of the adjustables as well though...

I agree with Sevens, the original product was so inflexible it lost interest to most reloaders. If you had a favorite load that matched, then it was a good tool, but still not great.
To me it was a very expensive copy of the Lee power measuring spoons, which was easily one of the worst additions to a reloader’s kit,,,, and yes I have one of those too.
In fact I took one of my cylinders and had a machinist cut it out so that I came up with my favorite load for Herco and the 44 special. It took a total of 6 tries with two different cylinders.
What I didn’t like about it was that it still didn’t make reliable loads. When your loading 5 grains of powder and you can’t keep the load accuracy within 5% I am not impressed.
Your idea might be great, and I congratulate you on your accomplishment in contributing to the gun industry.
But I also think you need to describe and explain your product in much more detail. In my case I am not going to add expense to a product that I already DON’T like without a lot more information or proof of concept.
Good luck to you, wish I could say I had a patent.
Lee powder scoops are plenty accurate if you use them properly. I can see where one might not think so from the looks of them but this is only true if you’re not careful.

the OP has not posted here in 10 years.

Plus, he was using the thread to sell a product, which should have gotten it closed when it was a new thread. Not sure why we missed that back then.

Zombie thread, and not proper when it was "alive", so time to put this one back in the ground.

Closed.
