CVA Adjustable Trophy Powder Measure Black Powder Brass

Description

You’re on the range, the sun’s just up, and you’re chasing that perfect, consistent load for your muzzleloader. Your target’s set, your rifle’s clean, but your powder throws are all over the map. That’s when a simple, reliable tool makes all the difference. The CVA Adjustable Trophy Powder Measure Black Powder Solid Brass is that tool—a dedicated, precision instrument for the black powder shooter who values repeatability and simplicity in the field or at the bench.

The CVA Adjustable Trophy Powder Measure Black Powder Solid Brass is a manually operated, adjustable volumetric powder measure designed specifically for black powder and black powder substitutes. Constructed from solid brass, it features a rotating metering chamber that allows for precise, repeatable powder throws from 0 to 120 grains, ensuring consistent charge weights for improved accuracy in muzzleloading rifles and pistols. This unit is drop-in ready for your loading routine, requiring no gunsmithing or special setup to start using immediately.

Let’s talk brass. The choice of solid brass isn’t just for a classic look—it’s a practical safety feature for black powder shooting. Brass is non-sparking, reducing any risk of accidental ignition from static or impact when handling loose powder. The heft of the material gives the measure a substantial, trustworthy feel in your hand, and the threaded adjustment knob provides smooth, positive clicks for fine-tuning your charge. You’re not guessing; you’re dialing in a specific, repeatable volume. The unit’s compact design, standing just under 5 inches tall, makes it easy to store in a range bag or hunting pack without taking up valuable space.

Here’s the thing—consistency is accuracy. The heart of this measure is its rotating drum. You fill the hopper, cycle the drum to drop a charge, and get the same volume every time at a given setting. This eliminates the variance that comes with using a shaky hand or inconsistent dippers. It’s compatible with a wide range of propellants, from traditional Goex black powder to modern substitutes like Pyrodex and Triple Seven. For hunters using popular in-line models like CVA’s own Wolf or Optima series, or traditional side-locks from Thompson/Center, this tool streamlines the loading process when seconds—or fractions of an inch—count. At a price of $10.82, it’s an accessible upgrade to any shooter’s kit.

Pros: The solid brass construction is durable and inherently safe for black powder. The adjustable mechanism is straightforward and provides consistent volumetric throws. Its compact size makes it highly portable for hunting camps or range days. The price point makes it a low-risk, high-value addition to your gear.

Cons: As a volumetric measure, it is calibrated for volume (grains) by black powder equivalent, not actual weight. Extreme humidity or clumpy powder can affect consistency, so proper powder storage is key. It is designed for loose powder only, not pellets.

This measure is for the practical muzzleloader. It’s for the Missouri whitetail hunter who needs a quick, reliable reload from a treestand. It’s for the historical shooter who demands period-correct tools for their rifle. It’s for any shooter tired of the mess and guesswork of pouring from a flask directly down a barrel or fumbling with separate dippers. If your goal is to shrink groups and simplify your loading process with a tool that just works, this is your answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this measure with smokeless powder for my modern cartridges?

A: No. This measure is designed specifically for black powder and black powder substitutes only. Using it with smokeless powders is not recommended and can be dangerous. Always use tools designed for the specific propellant type.

Q: How do I clean and maintain the powder measure?

A: Maintenance is simple. Periodically wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the brass finish. To clean the interior mechanism, disassemble by unscrewing the knurled end knob and brush out any powder residue. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.

Q: Is the adjustment knob marked with specific grain measurements?

A: The knob is marked with incremental lines, not specific grain numbers. You will need to calibrate it by throwing a charge and weighing it on a powder scale to find the exact setting for your desired load. This allows for fine-tuning beyond preset stops.
