Lyman 1200 DPS III


Electronic Powder Measure by Chris Parkin


Velocity consistency


A European adaptor plug was needed along with the supplied tools


I had always previously used an accurate powder measure and was confident a thrown charge was accurate to 0.2gr. When I have manually trickled to further refine this I have seen a huge increase in reloading time and no difference at 100 yards on target although a slight extreme spread (ES) reduction over the chronograph. For the average hunter/reloader shooting up to 200 yards, accuracy is paramount and ES mainly comes into play at longer ranges. An accurate 100 yard group can record quite large ES on a chronograph but when pushed further out, ES leads to vertical problems and I’m happy to report the ES figures displayed when testing ammunition produced with the Lyman convinced both myself - plus some very sceptical onlookers - of the unit’s value.


Kernels can be found throughout the machine Likes


Speed Accuracy Reduction in velocity extreme spread


Dislikes


Reduced diameter bushing gives options on speed control


European 2 pin plug Laborious cleaning regime Spills powder kernels when trickling commences


Opinion


A unit offering enhanced accuracy within acceptable time constraints, just a pain to clean
