So after loading up a few hundred rounds I find the whole powder measuring is killing me on time. For bench rest I have used a Harrell's precision drop. I am not sure I need that accuracy for my practice 45 loads. I was wondering what other folks are using. I noticed lee makes a pro auto disk what would work with my die set. Any users of that drop? If anyone has other recommendations let me know. I mainly want to speed up my process with decent consistency.

The Lee Pro Auto-Disk is a powder measure every one who uses the Lee PTE die should have.
If you are loading on a single-stage press, however, I prefer a bench-mounted powder measure. I drop the charge, inspect it, and then immediately seat the bullet.
Personally, I doubt that weighing each powder charge is even required for benchrest shooting.
If you really want to control the charge weight more than a powder measure (which is generally in the range of +/- 0.2gn), then look at the RCBS ChargeMaster. It will dispense a load in about the time it takes to seat a bullet.

When I used a single stage press, I used an RCBS uniflow, and another one made by redding just like the uniflow but with a micrometer adjustment. I adjusted it for a 10 charge average. and it worked great for me, now I'm running a 550 and 650 dillon.
