Redding Competition Model 10x Powder Measure

Cortland , NY…….The FN 5.7 x 28mm cartridge represents a unique offering in this year’s line up with Ruger introducing a new pistol at SHOT Show 2020. With this broader availability of new guns in the market, handloaders will surely increase excitement in the arena of load development. A small case with high pressure requires and extremely accurate powder measure. When 10 grains may be a max charge for a given powder and bullet weight combination, precision is critical for accuracy and safe operation. Traditional broad-spectrum powder measures that operate from 5 grains to 100 grains are least accurate and repeatable at the extreme ends of their range.

Redding addresses this issue by offering their Competition Model 10x Powder measure, which was specifically designed as a “bench rest” quality measure originally intended for the handgun silhouette market. The 10x is a dedicated small case measure with an operating range from approximately 1 grain to 25 grains of powder, putting the needed loads for the 5.7 x 28mm in the middle, and therefore the “Sweet Spot” of its operating range. This makes it the perfect match for the FN 5.7 x 28mm as well as other small case capacity cartridges like the 22 TCM and 17 Hornet.

The 10x included features are:

• Micrometer adjusting metering chamber with hemispherical cup

•Cast iron and hard chrome construction

•Backlash eliminating micrometer for repeatability

•Adjustable powder baffle

•Positive metering chamber lock

The company also produces dies and shellholders for the 5.7 x 28mm cartridge as well as a wide variety of accessory loading tools for every need. Redding Reloading Equipment has focused on building the finest quality, American Made products for the precision handloading market since 1946.
