The RCBS Powder Checker (RCBS part no. 87590) is a visual powder-charge inspection tool for progressive press reloaders. It mounts in an unused die station on an RCBS progressive press, between the powder charging station and the bullet seating station, so a low or high charge is caught by eye before a bullet ever gets seated on top of it.

• Gives a visual indicator of the powder charge level in each case before the bullet is seated.
