    What to use for a powder measure?

    I have been following your discussion about powder, charge size and equipment to pour charges, from Germany. (I have been shooting black since 1970). Mostly on German ranges, which as a rule allow only shooting at standardized paper targets. Blackpowder shooters in Germany have to pay heed...
