Lee Auto Disc Powder Measure?

[plasma]

Anybody know if It's worth getting an adjustable charge bar for my Lee Auto Disc powder measure over using the stock disks?

That depends... do you want to be able to be super flexible, able to adjust to any given situation (i.e. powder and charge), or not.

The alternative is busting out your pocket knife to carve away a circle trying to achieve your desired charge with that power for the day and once done you can never go back?

Have you used the Auto Disk system before?

The adjustable charge bar does come in handy, but doesn't work well with every type of powder. Larger flake tends to give very erratic results.

Another option is to get the double-disk kit with the grey "micro-disk". That way you can fine-tune your loads much more than with the available cavities.

Ditto Cerdan on the DD kit.

So you would go with the Double Disk setup over the charge bar? I guess the charge bar would work with a balling powder though? like a Winchester 231.

The adjustable works well with Titegroup, can't speak for the other powders.

 

[RT]

Yes, it works well with 231 and other ball type powders. Most flake powders tend to bridge, and not give consistant metering!

I guess Titegroup is a ball powder as well?

 

[Cerdan]

Yup, as are HS-6, HS-7 and H110... off the top of my head.

I prefer the constant charges given by the fixed hole discs. No adjusting. No surprises.
