It looks pretty cumbersome, but it can be done.What bds says above.
What about it are you not happy with??
I am not sure if there is any adapter that would allow the use of another brand (say RCBS) on the the top of the press. There may be however.??
That is a very important difference. The Auto-Disk came with my press and i sold it off within weeks in favor of the Pro Auto-Disk. For not a lot of money it is a superior powder measure by far.If you have the regular "Auto Disk", then the "Pro Auto Disk" would be a good replacement.
You might be able to use the Perfect Powder Measure with handgun cartridges with the Lee Universal Charging Die BUT, that die will nor expand the case mouth of handgun cartridges and is really meant for use with rifle cartridges.Looking at some Lee pieces and parts I have lying around. Does anyone know if the Lee Perfect Powder Measure would work using the powder through die which should currently be in use with the auto disk? Found two old perfect powder measures less the top covers, they must be around here somewhere?
Anyway, does anyone know if that combination would work?

it will with this inexpensive adapter.Looking at some Lee pieces and parts I have lying around.

I've been using the Lee Pro Auto disk with the double disk kit. I'm just tired of it dropping powder on the floor when using it. Seems to happen every so often. It is coming out of the disks. I have it all tight. I can not get a consistent drop either. Varies .4 grains at times. I'm not pushing max loads so it's not a huge issue but I would like a powder drop that is more consistent. I was using IMR 3031 to reload some .223 last week.
I don't think the Lee Auto-Disk was developed to meter stick powders like IMR3031 but I could be wrong. That might be the reason for the .4gr variance. I think you're asking the tool to do something it wasn't made to do and blaming the tool for failure.I've been using the Lee Pro Auto disk with the double disk kit.

Yea, you have to modify it to drop smaller charges consistently. I did this one and it works great. If I can do it, you can to (believe me).For those of you that are using the charge bar, are you using it on small volumes or large volumes. I have tried it on small volumes for my 380 and did not have very good luck with it.
With very small charges I have also found the adj charge bar doesn't work well. I am fairly sure it's because the charge hole created by the small spacing doesn't sit directly over the drop hole so you don't get a repeatable drop.For those of you that are using the charge bar, are you using it on small volumes or large volumes.
