What did you do in the reloading room today?

Loaded 60 rounds of 223 with my new Lee Perfect Powder Measure. This is the first Lee product that I am HIGHLY dissatisfied with.

After running the full hopper through it (like the directions state), I started setting up the "micrometer". Set it for roughly 22gr of IMR 4895 and when weighed, it was at 18gr. Okay, VMD is a little off, increase it. Finally got it to weigh a couple at 22gr, so I started filling 50 primed cases with powder. And that "micrometer" is a joke. First, its plastic, second it is not even close to the advertised VMD's.I mean sure, it hits the mark and has roughly 10% play, but thats a massive fail for a reloading component.

Went to weigh them all just to make sure it was still good, the charge weight varied from 20.8gr to 22.9gr. Completely unacceptable! Ended up having about 25% of the charges were that far off.

Definitely returning this one. Any recommendations for a BETTER rifle powder dropper? Perhaps a metal one? And no, I can't afford a chargemaster.
