PERFECT POWDER MEASURE Reviews & Ratings

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.

Works perfect on most powders, wide charge im loadin 4.0gr 9mm and 30-06 with 52gr, only adjust the knob and there you go, also very accurate, i dont tap, knock the body, there is when you get diferent measures. smooth, no lick, a must have. greeting from Argentina

This measure is great. it has a shut off so you can just twist the drum, throw the rest of the powder then empty the drum, no spills. Mine throws consistently +/- 0.1, it is more accurate than my chargemaster. Also, I cut the solid stop away to make it more accurate. By doing it, it allows the drum to completely close so powder doesnt bridge. But word of warning - cutting the stop away renders the measure unusable on a progressive press, but I dont have one, so not an issue for me. I bought one for my dad as well and his leaked at first, but i took it apart, washed it with soap and water, let it dry and coated the inside parts with powder graphite, no more leaks.

I got this on a recommendation. I am a very space constrained reloader, before this I just weighed every charge individually. This is accurate enough that it is measuring my 2.9gn loads to 0.1gn accuracy. The only cons I have are that it does leak powder a bit and I found the controls really sensitive / fiddly. But once you dial it in, it's great. I was pleasantly surprised how small this is. A good solution for those of us reloading on the table without a dedicated space.

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.

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......

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.

The dictionary definition of perfect is: "accurate, exact, or correct in every detail" and this does NOT describe the Lee "Perfect" Powder Measure. That being said, based on reviews, it probably is the best available, especially at the price. And that probably describes most of Lee Precision's reloading equipment and products. I use nothing but Lee and have for over 20 years. I think it is by far the best value on the market today. I have used my Lee Perfect Powder Measure since I started reloading in 1992 and I've always had difficulty in getting consistent measures of powder thus requiring that I weigh every load. That, of course, slows down the entire reloading process. I've found that loads can vary as much as +/- 2 grains but usually are between +/-.05 and 1 grain. Since I rarely load maximum loads, this does not usually present a safety problem but it can cause a wide varience in in muzzle velocity and accuracy. At a particular setting I have never gotten more than four straight loads that were exactly the same. Still, when you read the reviews of other similar products...some significantly more expensive...the Lee Perfect Powder Measure stands up well. It would be wonderful (and fast) to be able to drop load after load with confidence that each one would perfectly match the last one or at a minimum be within +/- a half a grain. That doesn't seem to be possible with any powder measure. So, I continue with my Lee, weighing each load and getting consistent muzzle velocities as a result. The stand used for bench mounting is strong but flexes noticably when the handle is pulled but it's held up for thousands of loads and is still going strong. It is a quality product and it's easy to use and adjust. I would recommend it to any reloader.

I had an RCBS that was broken in a move and purchased this one to replace it this unit is much lighter weight and just not the quality of the old one yes it was much less money but this one seems cheap. It is short so I had to place a spacer under it to get a case under the tube. Better than nothing but lacking for me

Looked great on paper, received as part of my 50th kit. tried adjusting the tension screw and running a hopper full to coat as instructed but still leaks a lot. I've heard others mention it works better on other types of powder but this is pretty unusable for H110. Will have to look for another alternative.. shame b/c the remaining lee products all work fine
