Lapping Perfect Powder Measure

Post by Ranch Dog »

Posted this on another forum so thought I would add it here as well.

The Gun Guides Perfect Adapter allows the PPM to be used on any of the Powder Through Expander Dies or Rifle Charging Die.

As an example, I use it to charge my large straight walled cases; 375 Win, 38-55, 444 Marlin and 45-70 Govt. The adapter has two o-rings that secure it into the Lee Funnel Adpater but I went ahead and expoxed it to one so that there would be no accidents.

I love the info I have access to on this forum as almost all my reload equipment is either Lee or Mec. Thank you for an informative pictorial explanation of this procedure. Happy Valentines Day!

BOTH the rotor and the drum of one on my PPMs had dips in the surface which required some serious lapping to flatten out but was worth the effort. The other PPM didn't require any lapping at all.
An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

When setting a job up for myself it must be Idiot Proof as well, as I am a bigger idiot than most people I know, and I prove it to myself everyday.
