The RCBS 98844 Quick Change Metering Screw Assembly eliminates the tedious process of manually adjusting powder charges between different loads. This universal large assembly fits multiple RCBS powder measures and allows instant switching between pre-calibrated powder charges with a simple screw exchange.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed metering systems that require time-consuming readjustment for each load, this quick-change assembly maintains precise powder charge settings on individual screws. Reloaders can pre-set multiple screws for different powder types and charges, then swap them in seconds rather than spending minutes recalibrating. The universal large design accommodates coarser powders and higher charge weights that smaller metering screws cannot handle effectively.
Key Features
- Quick-change design allows instant switching between pre-set powder charges
- Universal large capacity handles coarse rifle powders and magnum charges
- Precision-machined threads ensure consistent seating and accurate metering
- Compatible with RCBS Uniflow and ChargeMaster powder measures
- Hardened steel construction resists wear from abrasive powders
- Knurled adjustment knob provides secure grip for fine-tuning
- Factory-calibrated markings correspond to standard powder charge increments
This metering screw assembly maintains consistent powder charges across extended reloading sessions, critical for precision rifle ammunition and hunting loads. Competition shooters benefit from the ability to quickly switch between match loads and practice ammunition without losing zero settings. The large capacity design handles everything from fine pistol powders to coarse rifle powders like H4831 and Retumbo, making it suitable for cartridges from .223 Remington up to magnum rifle calibers.
