Yes, I have a couple of them and quite a collection of rotors.  My son is using one of them and I don't really use them anymore as I do all my pistol stuff on progressives now.  

If you are using it hand held over a loading block, consistant technique is important, off a stand it is just like any other powder measure but with a fixed cavity.  I used one for years and still do once in while, never had a problem with one.

I have two of the Little Dandies and 26 rotors. The only thing I use them for are weighed small, .17 cal. rifle charges. I throw light then trickle up. In close quarters the rotor seems to work better than the handle on a powder measure for this purpose.

They are not the most accurate in my experience. All my measures beat them for accuracy hands down. This may be me being from the old school mostly using flake powders in the hadguns.
