[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3331495, member: 15054"] I love my LEE auto disc powder measure. Same one in the video below..It is very accurate and reliable. I do not remove the 2 screws to remove the powder hopper to change the disc. I take the spring off and remove 1 screw and the toggle mechanism ..That plastic powder hopper will only take so many screw removal and install sessions before you crack it. Notice the powder hopper sits on the aluminum body. I use Bullseye powder which is very thin and it can leak a bit if the clearance from the powder hopper to the disc is too large. Little flakes of powder will be on the press. I filed down the aluminum area that the Powder hopper sits on to allow much tighter fit between disc and hopper. No powder leakage. Super accurate. Watch this video to which one I have. [MEDIA=youtube]fWR1G-thu6A[/MEDIA] I also have a newer one with an elastomer wiper I do not like it as much .. the one in the video is much more accurate for me. I also have the dippers and I trickle into a lee dipper with another dipper then card the top off. That has been the most accurate way for me to get those dippers filled. Yes dipping takes much time. I do not know how much of what powder you are using but those discs only go just so large and 45 colt holds quite a bit. They sell a double stack kit ..I have not used it. Know this as much as it sounds wrong. Volume of powder is much more important than weight in the accuracy department. Read about that and make your head spin. Here is a start for you.
