Issue:Lee Auto Disk Powder Measure and H110(or other fine powder)

[rdl212]

I am wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. In using H110 powder, which is very fine, it causes the lee auto disk powder measure to;

1. leave powder on the disk, and
2. cause jamming (ie. disk does not cycle back to original position without some help) due to the above powder in 1.

I am wondering if there is a solution to this, or if the Pro version of the auto disk measure works better(supposed to have some kind of sweeper?)?

Thanks

My advice is get yourself an Update Kit for your measure or purchase the Pro auto-disk powder measure. The elastomer wiper works great after you run some powder through it.

As far as your problem with your measure,.....put it together with a cavity & snug the screws down. Hold it up to eye level & look between the cavity & the powder hopper to see if there is a tiny gap. You will probably see a bit of light through there.

To reduce this gap take it apart & turn the base of the measure (metal part) upside down on a piece of fine sand paper on a flat surface & remove some of that metal. After a few swipes at a time match it up with the cavity & hopper & slowly you will reduce that gap to zero. If you take too much off, don't worry about it, just don't tighten up those screws down too much....

Good luck & let us know how it works out for you.
I like the pro so much I bought a 2'nd one....
