What did you do in the reloading room today?

Yes, Lee discs are EVIL, and hell-spawn. It's like "one size fits none". Beam scales are better, digital scales are better. But, follow the instructions for calibrating. You will never look back.

I really don't have issues with my Lee powder drops once I have my load development done. Polish the surfaces, use spherical only in the disc drop. Junked their rifle dies and went RCBS, except for the Lee factory crimp die.

Maybe some day I will pony up and go Dillon, but I'm OK for now with the Lee turret setup. I don't do that much volume anyway.

I went and bought an RCBS Chargemaster combo setup today on sale at Cabela's and with a rebate. Sooo much faster and more accurate to work up these ladders. Got 65 110gr Amax loads done, now on to the 208gr subs.

Lee autodisk is great. Completely eliminates load development!

What you bitching about for $40?? For $$40 the auto disk is an engineering marvel. That thing is amazing. If your doing development, trickle.

Try the new Lee Auto Drum! Dead nuts accurate & consistent even with Unique!! Seriously, it's an excellent product.

And that my friends, concludes today's television programming.

Loaded up a ladder of 110gr AMAX over H110 300BLK last night. Have more to do today but work getting in the way. So much for PTO.

I really need to get an electronic scale. I use the lee discs for loading all the spherical powders and a drop charge for stick powders, but these workups are slow going with a beam scale.

The discs are terrible if your load is in between the two cavities. I tried the micro adjuster, and it sucked too. I changed the Auto Disc setup to a Hornady powder measure with the auto powder drop. Worked great, but only did 20rds and bought a Dillon. Lee Pro 1000 is used just for decapping now. Concerning an electronic scale, I've had good results with a GemPro scale I bought from Old Will Knotts in CO.

I still have a Redding beam scale for verification if I feel the need.

Ughh, why didn't you mention this before I bought the AutoDisk a few months ago?

Worthless I tell you.

LEE 150 grain 1R sized .357. 3.1 grains of titegroup. COL 1.082 makes a 9MM 1911 STI work.

I don't know why everyone rips on/has trouble with the Lee powder drops.

The right tool for the right job. I keep one of each setup on the turret head with my dies. Keep em clean, polished, and static free.

I use the Auto Disk for pistol. Titegroup, W231

I use the Pro Auto Disc stacked for spherical rifle powders. H335, BLC-2

I use the Lee Perfect Powder Measure, setup to autodrop for rifle stick powders. Varget, IMR4064, 8208XBR

They all have the riser to clear the safety primer on the turret setup.

They all run consistent enough for the loads I'm building which are primarily plinking, and don't leak.


If you have a leakey auto disk, try this tip from Lee.

Auto Disk Powder Measure Leaking

Posted by on 20 October 2011 03:37 PM

As with all mechanical devices enough clearance has to be built into the device to allow movement of the components. Should you be experiencing leakage, one fix is to reduce the amount of clearance between the hopper and the disk by carefully sanding down the risers that the hopper is mounted to. Place a disk between the risers with a piece of scotch tape on top, and use a file or sandpaper attached to a flat surface, and file/sand until contact is made with the scotch tape.


Should the disk travel past the drop tube, all of the powder should have dropped down the tube already. A few flakes of powder may stick to the disk just from static
