Great ON PRESS powder measure!

Bought this measure due to the price and overall reviews. I have to say it throws accurate charges within 0.10 of a grain. And yes it does leak a little powder with SOME DRUMS, not all of them. Good thing is replacement drums are relatively cheap. But ONE THING to state to anyone wanting to buy this for mounting to a powder measure stand and actuating it by hand occasionally. YOU CANNOT use this off a press just by taking a case in hand and pressing it up into the measure. The spring resistance on this measure is pretty strong and IS INTENDED FOR THE EXTRA LEVERAGE A PRESS ARM GIVES YOU. Just a little friendly advice from a fellow reloader who had that same idea in mind when I bought it. If you want a manually hand operated measure, get the deluxe perfect powder measure. But other than that this is a great ON PRESS CASE ACTUATED POWDER MEASURE.

Works Fine with Lee ClassicTurret Press

Just got it in....used W231, TiteGroup, and Bullseye. All meter well, but TiteGroup leaks a tiny bit of powder on the top of the turret press. Not enough to cause any problems. I was able to convert the large drum to a small with no problems. Loads are consistent, drums are interchangeable, and the price was reasonable. Bought the auto-disk riser and extra drums too. Used on my powder thru expander die from Lee...There were no problems with case actuation or powder sticking.

A dream for reloaders

This powder measure is incredible! Very easy to setup, inexpensive replaceable measurement drums that can be set and saved for any particular recipe. Has never wandered a powder charge, as verified by my Pact scale. Can be easily switched to automatically drop a charge on my CI Turret Press.
