Midway has a sale going on , rotors are specific charges for specific powders no adjustment. If the rotor is in the sweet spot for your loading + or- 2 grains worth the bother?

I picked one up with a few rotors at a yard sale several years back and have since bought all the rotors for it. I like it. Might find you have to adjust your favorite loads by a few tenths of a grain. I haven't found I can tell any accuracy difference with my revolvers with my mediocre handgun shooting ability in the few tenths of grain differences I've had to adjust to.

Does the little dandy fit the standard RCBS powder measure stand? |

Where you mount the measure, the mount needs thinned. I have a dedicated one just for the little dandy.

Hi...
I have been using a Little Dandy powder measure for decades with great success.
I actually have picked up a couple of extra Little Dandy measures at auctions over the last year or so. I have just about all of the rotors other than the #0 and #00.
I use mine on just about every handgun caliber that I load for. If I can't find a rotor/powder combination that throws the load that I require, I just trickle in the last few tenths of a grain. Usually I can get an accurate load of sufficient power to drop without resorting to trickling any additional powder.
Obviously I don't use it on my progressive presses but when loading on my RockChucker it is my preferred method of dispensing powder for handgun reloading.

I have two measures and all the rotors (picked up over time). Never used it with a stand. I've found it to be much more efficient with cases in loading block and moving measure from one to the next. One of my most used loading tools.

I actually bought mine used, to add the 0 & 00 rotors to use for smaller "micro" cartridges like the 25 ACP

Does the little dandy fit the standard RCBS powder measure stand? Yes with a couple slight modification to the stand. I use mine with the two hole bar that came with the Uni-Flo measure. Happened to have a 7/8-14 bolt and nut and just turned the stand around and bolted the bar to the stand and screwed the Little Dandy to the threaded hole. |

As others have said, I use it for all my handgun loads and hold it over the loading block. Seems easier than picking up each case to hold under a stand.
