Introduction
Congratulations on your selection of the Frankford Arsenal Super charger™ Powder Measure. The Super charger
Powder Measure is the end result of years of research and development and has been produced under rigid manufac-
turing and quality control standards, resulting in one of the finest powder measures available to reloaders today. The
unique angled frame design is engineered to allow the rotor cutting edges to cut cleanly rather than crush individual
powder grains for more consistent...

measure at any desired angle. 
• Secure the powder measure to the drop tube adaptor by tightening the body lock screw.
• Detach the nozzles from the mold trees and slip the pre-lubricated O-rings over the small end of the clear drop
tube extension and each nozzle. Roll the O-rings downward until they snap in place into the O-ring groove 
found on each nozzle. Note each nozzle has the caliber size molded into it. Match the caliber size on the 
nozzle to that shown on the storage box lid. Insert the...

it bottoms out against the powder measure frame. 
Both the rifle and pistol micrometers are zeroed at the factory. However, if for any reason the micrometers 
fail to zero or are ever disassembled, they must be re-zeroed prior to use as follows: 
• Loosen the knurled micrometer lock screw and back the micrometer thimble away several turns from the
zero point. 
• With the rotor handle lifted to the midpoint of its travel, install the desired micrometer as follows. If using
the pistol micrometer slide...

the metering chamber to empty, and then downward until it comes to a stop, pausing to allow the metering 
chamber to fill. You will be able to see the powder move in the hopper while the metering chamber is 
filling. For a detailed discussion of proper powder charging methods, refer to the section entitled 
“Powder Charging Technique”. 
11. Throw a charge and weigh it on your powder scale. Note whether it is overweight or underweight and 
adjust the micrometer setting as needed. Turning the micrometer...

In any rotary powder measure there is a slicing or shearing action that occurs when powder granules are caught
between the cutting edges of the rotor and the body of the measure, as the operating handle is cycled. This shearing
action typically takes place on only 1 or 2 powder granules and can be felt as a slight increase in resistance as the gran-
ules are cut. Coarse-grained extruded powders usually offer the most resistance and are the toughest to cut. When cut-
ting any coarse-grained powder, a...

empty if the pistol micrometer is installed. Be sure to re-zero the micrometer for the next reloading session. 
Reinstall the hopper cap to keep dust out of the powder measure when not in use.
Maintenance
Plastic and painted surfaces may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Never use petroleum based solvents to clean any plas-
tic components (i.e. handle knob, powder hopper, or drop tube nozzles). If rust spots appear on unpainted external sur-
faces, swab with gun oil and wipe dry. If the powder measure is...

7. Problem: Micrometer does not zero.
Remedy:
• Empty the powder measure and remove micrometer. Reinstall and zero the micrometer in accordance with 
instructions in section entitled “Powder Measure Setup and Adjustment”.
8. Problem: Static electricity causing powder to adhere to powder hopper walls.
Remedy: 
• Rubbing the outside of the plastic hopper tube with a laundry dryer sheet (such as Cling Free or Bounce) can 
easily eliminate static electricity. Do not put the dryer sheet inside the hopper,...

prevent marring and use a pair of pliers to remove it from the drop tube. Lubricate the O-ring prior to re-
installation.
