Description

This is a professional-grade vintage powder measure produced by the Hollywood Gun Shop, a renowned manufacturer of high-end reloading tools based in Los Angeles. The device is constructed with a heavy cast-iron body featuring a black crinkle-finish and is embossed with the maker’s name on the hopper. It includes an integrated C-clamp for bench mounting and a large threaded brass base secured by a hexagonal locking nut. The unit is fitted with a precision micrometer-style adjustment dial with numerical graduations for exact powder measurement. Accompanying the measure is a cylindrical amber glass reservoir jar with a knurled metal screw-on lid and a threaded metal base designed for direct attachment to the hopper. Hollywood Gun Shop tools are prized by collectors for their industrial durability and historical role in precision benchrest shooting. Measurements: Not provided.
