Harrell’s Precision BR Premium Powder Measure
Shooter Q&A Sheet
1. What makes the BR Premium Powder Measure different from typical powder measures?
The Harrell's Precision BR Premium Powder Measure uses a Culver-style micrometer adjustment that allows extremely repeatable powder settings. Instead of guessing or resetting by trial and error, shooters can dial specific click values and return to known charge settings quickly.
2. How consistent are the powder throws?
With consistent technique and the right powder type, many shooters report throws within approximately ±0.1 grain. Consistency also depends on factors like powder shape, handle operation, and proper setup.
3. Is this powder measure suitable for precision rifle ammunition?
Yes. The Harrell's Precision BR Premium Powder Measure was originally designed for benchrest shooters, where extremely consistent powder charges are critical for small groups and stable velocity spreads.
4. What powders work best in the BR Premium measure?
The measure performs particularly well with:
Short-cut extruded powders
Ball powders
Fine-grain stick powders
Long, coarse extruded powders can still be used, but they may require slightly more consistent technique.
5. What is the advantage of the Culver adjustment system?
The Culver-style micrometer allows shooters to:
Return to previous charge settings
Make precise incremental adjustments
Record settings for different loads
This makes switching between loads much faster during load development.
