WORKS WELL
Because of powder shortages I bought a powder that became available that I had never used before (VIHT-N350). I use a Hornady Powder Measure (which is excellent) for all my powder measuring when it comes to loading pistol rounds. This powder is a small stick powder which did not meter well with the Hornady Measure. The problem was that the Hornady Measure was always jamming because it was cutting the powder. I read where the Lee Powder Measure does not cut powders and bought it to use with this powder. So far the Lee Measure has been great for me when using this powder. I do recommend it for stick powders.

Does Not Powder Jam.
Having collected a wide assortment of Powder Dispensers, over 50 years of loading my own, I was delighted with the Lee Perfect Powder Measure. It's much better than it looks, and it throws within a tenth of a grain with most rifle powders. I have been using a Belding & Mull drop tube measure for many years, until I started using the Lee. The Lee is the equal of the Belding & Mull, and a bit more consistent with extruded powders. There is no powder grain cutting with the Lee, which is huge when using IMR, and other extruded powders. The Lee is all plastic, and ballistic polymer construction, which enables it's low price, and makes for improved function over metal Culver, and Drop Tube Measures. The Elastic Powder Sweep, within the main drum, eliminates grain cutting, and jamming, which creates variations in volume drops. The Lee Perfect Powder Measure is a huge value surprise, and I've been using it exclusively for my 300 yard F Class League, with excellent scores. The threaded adjustment rod, is a bit funky, if I need to move it a long way within it's travel path, but once set, it never moves. Given the price, it's a true bargain.

VERY ACCURATE WORKS WELL
SET THE LEE PERFECT POWDER MEASURE UP ALONG SIDE MY OTHER( MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE) POWDER MEASURE ON THE BENCH AS A ALTERNATIVE TO AVOID HAVING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING FOR LOADING ANOTHER CALIBRE....THE BUILD QUALITY OF THE OTHER BRAND IS MUCH MORE ROBUST...APART FROM THAT BOTH WORK EQUALLY WELL DON'T FORGET THE PRICE VERATION YOU CAN BUY ABOUT FIVE LEES TO ONE OF THE OTHERS GREAT AS A BACK-UP......

Not so perfect, but still a good deal
I've used mine for almost 5 years. It works and is relatively accurate. I would say within +/- 2 about 80% of the time. Part of that is the human factor of inconsistent throws. One wouldn't think that how you throw the lever would cause a variation, but it does. So, I go for a lower output and then trickle the rest. For the money, it's a good deal. I don't think any other manual dispenser would do much better.
