RCBS Powder Checker

The RCBS Powder Checker (SKU RC87590) is an essential quality-control tool for serious reloaders who demand accuracy and consistency in their ammunition production. Designed specifically for use with RCBS progressive presses, this compact checker provides a critical visual inspection point during the powder-charging phase of the reloading sequence. Whether you're loading precision rifle rounds or high-volume pistol ammunition, this tool catches powder-charge inconsistencies before they compromise your finished rounds, saving time and materials while ensuring safety.

The Powder Checker mounts directly between your powder charging station and bullet seating station on your progressive press, positioning it at optimal access height for quick, hands-on inspection of each charge as cases advance through the press cycle. Its lightweight design—just 0.28 lbs—integrates seamlessly into your reloading setup without adding bulk or slowing your workflow. The straightforward visual inspection method allows you to quickly identify undercharges, overcharges, and double charges that scales or electronic sensors might miss, giving you the tactile confidence that comes from direct observation before the critical seating operation.

Precision reloaders, competitive shooters, and commercial ammunition producers benefit most from this tool's straightforward reliability. It works with all powder types and charges across rifle and pistol calibers, making it invaluable for anyone running RCBS progressive systems at high volume. Installation requires no tools or permanent modifications—simply position it in your press's station lineup and start inspecting. This is the kind of simple, mechanical quality gate that separates mediocre ammunition from match-grade loads.
