Review of the Lyman 55 powder meaure. - Ruger Forum
Mar 22, 2014 · Tomorrow I'm boxing up a bunch of this stuff to take to a gun show in LeMars, IA this weekend. At this moment, I have a Pacific (same as the current Hornady powder measure), two RCBS Uniflows, and older Dillon 450 manual powder measure, and a couple newer Dillon automatic powder measures, plus the Lyman 55.
The Lyman 55 powder measure - Shooters Forum
Feb 29, 2008 · I find the Lyman 55 much handier than my old Ohaus Du-O-Measure, but it isn't as accurate with small charges of flake powder. The 55 does all my rifle and .357 Magnum loading. The rear clamp makes it quick to mount and dismount for dumping. Bye Jack
Lyman 55 powder measure | Shooters Forum
Apr 13, 2014 · The Lyman 55 Powder Measure is an excellent tool. To my opinion superior to RCBS and Redding in the sence that it could load from 1gr - 100gr without changing the disk. The hammer on the front gets rid of any sticky powder and ensure more even throws.
Lyman #55 Powder measure,disasmy. & cleaning | Ruger Forum
Jul 20, 2015 · I have the Lyman 55 & I removed mine easily with no freezer time needed, prior to 1st use when new. It is, in my opinion, very well made. I cleaned mine with alcohol to de-grease it, then wiped the reservoir with dryer sheets & ran a hopper full of …
Any strong opinions on a powder measure for... - Shooters Forum
Oct 18, 2022 · Okay, current strategy (ask me again in 15 minutes) will be to watch for affordable Uniflow, Little Dandy, or Lyman #55 powder measures, while purchasing, grudgingly, a Lee PPM. A new one cannot fail to work as well as, or better, than the last one I owned (and threw away).
Lyman older No.55 powder measures - Shooters Forum
Mar 31, 2004 · I have two Tru-line Jr. presses set up with No.55 powder measures. One seems to throw Universal powder with good accuracy...but, the other is not consistent. I was using a setting of six grains. I tried getting that fix on the top slide bar first, then just the bottom slide bar...nothing worked there that was consistent.
Lyman 55 powder measure discontinued - Ruger Forum
Aug 13, 2021 · Lyman has discontinued the 55 powder measure. That's too bad as it is a great tool. I ordered a few spare parts while still available; reservoir, and small screws. If you have one you might at least get a replacement reservoir. It is probably the piece most likely to break.

Feb 6, 2016 · With shorter extrusions like Varget, the Dillon is the most uniform followed closely by the Lyman #55. When testing with flake Unique powder, no doubt .... the Lyman #55 with its "clapper" was by far the best and the RCBS Uniflow was the worst. With Unique powder charges over 6gr, the Dillon was almost as good as the Lyman #55. The absolute ...
Lub to use in a powder measure - Ruger Forum
Jul 20, 2024 · I have a Lyman 55 powder measure. Had it since 1968. It was starting to get a little stiff in movement so I disassembled it, steel wooled a bit, wiped off with bore cleaner, then sprayed penetrating oil on it. Bummer, even though I wiped it off to remove any excess PO, powder still stuck.
Lyman 55 Powder Measure just ordered! - Ruger Forum
Mar 17, 2014 · The Lyman 55 is a great powder measure. I got mine used from a friend many years ago. They are very accurate. I don't use mine very much anymore but it's here if I need it. I like it allot better then the RCBS Uniflow. In the last year or so I bought into the modern technology and bought one of the RCBS electronic powder measures and scales.
