Reefinmike, thanks for the info... Great heads up for when I get started with mine. Lee stuff is so inexpensive, I might just spring for an auto-disk, too, and give them both a try. Would be nice to set one up for .44 mag, and the other for .38 Special, too.
I've been thinking about mounting an old RCBS Uniflow powder measure to the LCT, using either
this or
this as this guy did
here.
I was about to pull the trigger on one of the case activated linkage kits linked above, but for the price of one of those kits, I could just about buy both an Auto-Disk and an Auto-Drum. I like the way my old Uniflow measures my favorite powders so well that if the Auto-Drum doesn't cut it, I might still end up getting one of those linkage kits so I can use the Uniflow.
Thanks for the heads up, Reefinmike, much appreciated. Now I just wish UPS would show up so I can set up my LCT and Auto-Drum.
I've loaded up every empty case I have in .223 and 9mm on the 1050, so now I'm going through reloading withdrawal until the LCT shows up today.
Edit: I'm a firm believer in rattling the powder measure around a bit to get more consistent powder throws, too. My Dad had/has an ancient Redding drum style powder measure that had a heavy piece of lead attached to a hinge, mounted on top of the drum. You would flip the lead weight several times, letting it bang on the drum several times before each throw. Man, that was a consistent powder measure.
