Well, I have to jump in here and defend Lee products.. I have to say that I have 4 lee disk powder measures and love them. I use many of their dies (especially like the factory crimp die) and used an old turret press for years until I purchsed a dillon. I find that the disks cover enough of a range that they work well for pistol powders. (and you CAN buy an adjustable insert) You do need to develop a consistant 'feel' with the lever to throw consistant charges, but you must do that with any measure. I found back when I used the scoops, that they could be very consistent, but you must also use a consistant method for them also. I would fill a bigger scoop, pour it into the measuring scoop while holding it over a cup to catch the spillage, (same way each time) then I brush the excess off the scoop. I doesn't take long to learn to throw very consistant charges. I use three Lee disk measures on my dillon so I don't have to keep adjusting when I change powders, just slip the appropriate disk in place. You must, however, weigh a few charges with each disk hole and I have done that and made my own chart for the powders I use most. I find that the supplied chart reads a little heavier than the disk actually throws by about 5%. If the chart says that hole throws 9.0 gr of Unique, it will probably actually throw 8.6 gr. so check it out. And if I use that same disk on my dillon, I will get 8.3 gr because I am not snapping the lever by hand. I have been well satisfied with their products. The only other thing I would say is if you ever decide to go progressive, buy a dillon, period! 44 Man
