the wife got me a redding BR -30 for christmas . the first thing i did was to try it out on BL-C(2) it threw it real consistant .my question is does redding offer a adapter for 204 cases ? the hole in the mouth of the feed tube is to large for 204.

One solution is to use a 20 cal Satern funnel. It will sit on the case neck and you can throw directly from the measure. Or go to Sinclair's website and see if you can get a drop tube with an adapter.

I would recommend the funnel method as well.

How do you like the br30? I'm looking at picking up a new powder measure and the redding is one I'm looking at.

Thanks!

i haven't had a chance to use it . i did throw some charges of BL-C (2) and weighed them and they were all with in less than a tenth of a grain.

Another vote for the Satern funnel. I've used my BR-30 for many years, added the Satern when I started into the .20's, and have smiled ever since. High marks for both. :D

The BR 30 is a very excellent powder measure. I use it with Benchmark,Rel 10X, and some Ball powders. It will work with all the 204 Ruger powders we use.

This is the only good powder measure of the four I have owned.

i got ahold of redding and they said that they don't have one at this time. so i made one on the lathe . it turned out great and it work fine . i made it out of clear acrylic so i can see if it gets a jam. i ran some BL-C (2) threw it and it worked great.
