2X Powder Hopper Tube

For the Dillon Auto Powder Measure

If you reload large capacity rifle cartridges, large quantities of pistol cartridges for competition, or use "fluffy" high load density powders like IMR Trail Boss, you know how frustrating it is to have to stop frequently to fill the powder hopper on your Dillon press. Ever wish you could "Super Size" your powder hopper? Now you can! The 2X Powder Hopper Tube™ doubles the powder capacity of your Dillon Auto Powder Measure by replacing the original 7" powder hopper tube with a 14" powder hopper tube.

The 2X Powder Hopper Tube™ is made from high-strength, clear, poylcarbonate tubing and includes a Precision Powder Baffle™ that provides a uniform flow of gunpowder to the powder bar, regardless of the powder level in the hopper. The powder baffle is made from 20 gauge aluminum and is water-jet cut to precise dimensions.

Installation is simple! Empty the powder measure and remove the two screws attaching the original powder hopper. Insert the 2X Powder Hopper Tube™ and attach using the original screws. You even get to use your original Dillon powder measure lid. If you use a Dillon Low Powder Sensor, it will still fit but will alarm at 50% full unless you modify it with a longer follower rod. Extending the follower rod is easy and inexpensive and instructions are included. These instructions are also available for free download from our "Tips" library for those who want to make their current Low Powder Sensor adjustable to alarm at any desired powder level.

Fits all versions of the Dillon Auto Powder Measure that have two screws attaching the Powder Hopper Tube to the powder measure body.†

Included*: 14" powder hopper tube, Precision Powder Baffle™ and installation instructions.
* Dillon Powder Measure and Micrometer Powder Bar shown in photo are not included.

SUPER 1050 Users: Due to the location of the case feed hopper on the Super 1050, there isn't enough vertical clearance for a 14" Powder Hopper Tube. We have an alternative 11" tall Powder Hopper Tube that does fit and yields a 57% increase in powder capacity. Just select the Super 1050 version from the pop-down menu when you place your order.

† Older Dillon powder measures with the powder hopper tube held in place by epoxy, and not by 2 screws, require alteration for the 2X Powder Hopper Tube to install. Such alterations may void the Dillon warrantee for your powder measure and is therefore not recommended.
