ohaus powder measure

[captn-tin]

i'm starting to reload again after about a 20 year lapse. gave my son all my stuff with the agreement that i could use it when i wanted to. well, i want to! the powder hopper on my(his) ohaus duo-measure brole at he neck. he couldn't find a new one anywhere so he made one out of a of a 24oz calistoga sport-pack plastic bottle. cut the bottom out to fill. neck fits measure perfectly. dont set screw to tight though. works like a charm! does anyone know where i can get a original replacement hopper for this unit? thanks.......captn-tin

I tried to get one from them...the parts are not available anymore.

might be careful of the plastics used, i know the red funnels are anti static. so if you notice that your powder is sticking to the plastic, it is being charged. And thus it could discharge. dont know how likely it is, but there is some degree of concern.

Ohaus was acquired by RCBS I believe...you might try them. Also, Sinclair sells some adapters for use with 'pill bottles' that might work...you could try them too.

Ohaus used to make scales and measures for RCBS..... I tried them too...no luck when I asked.

I ended up taking a MEC shotgun reloaders powder bottle and made it work....like this:
