Meh

I bought this to go with a Lee Classic Turret I bought at the same time. Why 2 stars? Mine throws within + or - 0.3 grains of Win 231 (which is a fairly fine powder). I was shooting for 4.0 gr but I'd get 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and once 4.3 gr. It's not very consistent for me so that's a star. My Dillon holds a lot better than that (yes, it was a lot more expensive). I take 2 stars off for the stupid hopper. You can't just lift the lid and dump the charge you just weighed (that wasn't consistent with the others you just checked), no, you have to dump it into something else and transfer it later. Really Lee? It's like you've never reloaded yourselves to come up with that design. The hopper really is a stupid design...enough I'd take 2 stars off. Go back to the red hopper with a lid.
