Powder measure advice

[ronsnighttrain]

I have a Lee classic turret press with the usual Lee powder measure with the disks. I am now going to start to reload for 9mm , 223 , and 45acp. Reloading for 2 calibers is a pain in the a$$ enough, with changing the disks,but 3? Is there another powder measure I can use that is more user friendly to change load sizes,and still be used on top of the die to drop the powder into the case?

if your bummed out by making a change or two the only way to overcome that is a "selection" of different powder measures, each set for a different charge... The Lee measures are probably the most cost effective ones to have a selection of on hand.

Yes, the Lee Precision Auto-drum powder measure. If all you use is spherical powder it works very well - usually +/- 0.1gr. You can get more quick change drums for it which can be set to a certain load volume with a powder and once set are quick to change out. I find it works great for Titegroup, H-110 and H-335. I would not really suggest using it for extruded powders unless you weigh them individually after charging as the charge variability is high (in my use from +0.2 to -0.4gr) but that is a call you will have to make yourself.

The AutoDisc measures are cheap enough that you can just buy one for each set of dies which you then leave set up in a die plate for each setup. So the whole head swaps out and you just replace the shell holder in the ram and you're ready for the new size ammo.
