For many years, to charge my casings, I used the scooper that came with the dies. I was only loading .44 sp/mag at the time and the scooper worked nicely with the Blue Dot powder I was using. Then I added .45ACP to my line-up and found the scooper to be lacking, so I started measuring each load, one by one. It didn’t take long to realize that I needed to find a different method and I selected the Lee Disk measure, and it was a revelation for me at the time. Not only would it automatically measure each charge but it would dump it right into the case when I used the expanding die. Holy Smoke! I was in heaven! And so life went for a long time…
Now, however, I’ve gotten more interested in reloading and I’m adding a lot more calibers (and hope to add more going forward) and I’m looking for something that will do all that my Lee Disk does but with more accuracy. The limitations of the disk are such that I find myself having to choose the disk closest to what I’m looking for rather than putting in exactly the amount of powder I want. If I were a long range shooter I’d be happy to just load manually because of the smaller number of loads, but I’m a handgun guy and I load as many rounds as I can each time and don’t worry too much about the fractional details as I might with long distance shooting.
Is there a better option that will do everything I want (automatically measure and charge each case) but do it more accurately (not just the closest disk)? What do you all use?
