Lee auto disk

[stand125]

Take some sandpaper and work the disk cavity a little to get to whatever charge you want to throw.

Powder measure
Case activated drop linkage
Powder through expanding dies

Personally, I think the Lee powder/expanding die does a better job, but at this point no one has made an adapter to attach the Hornady case activator to a Lee die. I honestly think that would be the best combo.

Thanks, I didn't know know the lee dies would not work with the hornady. I really like the expanding powder through die so far and have no complaints about it.

Plenty of good anwers here. I own and am happy with the Lee Pro Auto Disk Powder Measure. Like all powder measures, it is most consistent with ball powders. I'm on my third pound of CFE Pistol. I've seen that powder measure weighg out the same exact charge 10/10 times in a row. To whoever was getting a discrepency of 0.4 grains, it could be that the scale wasn't calibrated or the powder wasn't settled properly.

It's a little naive to think their chart is going to be spot on, but it's not your fault for wanting to use the information they provided with it. I agree with figuring out what throw each disk spits out. With CFE Pistol, the smallest disk throws 3.9 gr, then 4.2, then 4.6, then 4.8, then 5.. I've never seen an increment between disks that is larger than 0.3 grains. You should be able to find a load you like with this system. Unique meters like corn flakes in a can so I wouldn't get it again if you can help it. Still, you shouldn't be getting more of a fluctation than +/- 0.1 grains with Unique. Try tapping your turret press to help the powder settle in the disk the same way, every time.

I have the charge bar but have never used it. I'vd had no problem finding an accurate load with a variety of powders and bullets using this powder measure. I agree that it doesn't line up perfectly with the hopper for charges less than 6 grains.

Yeah, once I'm done with the 2lbs I have, I'm not going to get it again. I'm going to mess around with the disks and see if I can get a throw close to what I'm aiming for.

I'll try tapping the turret press next time, thanks for that tip.

and the Lee adjustable charge bar will cure the ills of Unique....

Don't forget to cycle the press to rotate the turret in a complete circle to settle the powder the same way it would be if you were loading cartridges. Do this every time you measure your powder charge.
