Duplex Powder measures

[Ray Newman]

I found & resurrected my Ideal #6 Duplex Powder measure.

Curious as to when Ideal 1st made these duplex measures & when production ceased.

Anyone have any information 'bout these unique & well made measures?

I unsuccessfully tried to log onto the antique reloading tools site for information.

Sharpsman: thanks but that not it.

What I have is a powder measure that has 2 reserviors: one for BP; one for White/nitro powder.

The Reloader rotates the crank handle one way to drop the White Powder, then rotates it back to drop the BP on top of the White Powder.

Both reserviors "funnel" the powders into the ssingle pout. All the Reloader does is hold the case under the spout & rotate the handle.

Pretty nifty & usefull tool. Very well made.
