Lee Auto Disk

[mineralman55]

I was thinking of getting a Lee auto disk powder measure for my RCBS 4x4. Anyone here use a Lee auto disk with a non-Lee progressive press? Any thoughts on these measures? They have a very good reputation on many forums. How are they with stick powders, or stacking the disks to get a proper rifle cartridge charge? Any problems with leakage of specific powders?

there is no way I would use for rifle it is ok for pistol but measures on volume not weight too much variance for Rifle In my opinion

Buy a dillon powder drop die and funnel system. Then rig a reset using ball chain. I had a lee and wouldnt trust it for rifle at all. It is very bad about cutting powder.

I'm using the same system I've used for over 25 years... an RCBS 4x4 with an RCBS Uniflo. The Uniflo works well even with big stick powders, but was looking to automate pistol loading a little bit. I suppose if I can rig up a linkage between the ram and the Uniflo drum that would work as well.

Okay, let's expand this a bit. I've been looking at the RCBS and Hornady case activated powder drop linkages. These are retrofitted to a Uniflo measure. Anyone use these? If so, reliability? Ease of installation? How do they handle stick powder?

I use the Lee Pro Auto-Disk on my Dillon 1050s for pistols. Also use the Dillon and Hornady powder measures on them.
All work fine.
