Lee Auto Disk Powder measure leaking

[natomasboy]

I just finished loading 200 rounds on my Lee Turret Press and noticed the auto disk powder measure leaks some powder every so often. It doesn't look that much after 10 rounds but after 200 it does get very noticeable. Is there a way to prevent this? I've tightened the screws but it still leaks a bit of powder.

how old is it and is it a round hopper or rectangle the newer ones are round and have a rubber seal to stop that you can get a update kit from lee

The rectangle one leaks a lot.. I bought the round one and doesnt leak at all..

I have the rectangle one which came with the turret press kit

I mean this kinda stinks. First they say that if I want to buy the Lee Safey Prime I also have to buy a riser for the expander die. If I want a non-leaky powder measure I have to get an upgrade kit?!

I'm kinda getting the nickel-and-dime feel from Lee Precision products... or am I off here. I love my press but little things about it require extra purchases that are so minuscule that it should really be part of the original kit.

All my reloading gear is from Lee.. I have no issues with it what so ever..

Contact Lee's customer service and describe the problem. Every report I have seen says they will take care of you.

Actually I have the rectangular one. I'll give Lee a call and see if they can hook me up with an upgrade kit.

I ended up buying the pro disk powder (cylinder shape) which now leaks just a little bit The difference is very noticeable and also the changing of disks is easier since the powder measure has an off switch so you don't have to empty the cylinder while replacing the charge disks.
