I just wanted to show my love for the Lee Pro Auto-Disk powder measure. It just works great and couldn't be easier to use, set up, and put away. It is IMO much better than a conventional powder dispenser even with case activated linkage. Anyone not like it? Or have any problems with it?

Isn't that sacrilege?

What press is that? It looks weird.
RCBS color - but I don't think I've seen one like that before.

(I like 'em too, by the way)
 
ya its dillon dies lol and lee powder measure on a rcbs pro 2000 i think..
 
all mine make a mess with very fine powder like accurate #9, even on a fresh wiper, but other than that, I think it's great too.

RCBS Pro2000 with Dillon dies and Lee Pro Auto-Disk! I like all colors! Red, Blue, Green, even Orange!
 
Really like it but don't use it much. I got one a while back used it a bit powder spills out alot i'm good with that but the fact that I really can't see in the case after a charge dosent sit well with me. Also used the rifle disk doubler loaded 50 cases and was off by as much as 2gr so now pre charge rifle look with a flashlight i do use it on pistol that 2 pulls will have powder falling all over

I think I heard some die hard reloaders faint all over THR servers. :eek:

Actually, I know several shooters who quietly added Pro Auto Disk to their non-Lee presses. I agreed not to mention it at the range. :D
 
I love mine. Just got a second. My goal is a turret, with a auto-disk for each caliber.

This is what I do with my Lee Classic Turret and Auto Pro Disk. I have one for each Handgun turret caliber I have (9mm, 45ACP, 40SW, 357) and then I keep one extra turret that I use mostly when I do my plinking 223 load.
 
mine works flawless....I have a swivel adapter so i only have 1 but it attaches in seconds to all my turrets.
 
I use it and like it a lot.... but I installed their great Adjustable Charge bar to simplify caliber changes from 9mm to .45ACP. I do use the Lee micro-disk to throw the light load amount for my .380.

Win 231/HP-38 meters quite well thru the dispenser.
 
I love it how you mix and match products to come up with a great setup!! I have a nice Dillon SL900 for shotshells but my rifle reloads get done on a Lee press... i love it.... cheap and it works great!
 
I've got it running on my LNL AP as well. Other than having to cleanup the minor powder spill (slightly annoying) after each session, it works very well.
 
I like the 'Pro' disk a lot. A 5/16" square piece of typical computer paper is said to be ".1" grain. I put two little marks at the +/- .1 grain point on my scale. My drop measurements with smaller powders (ball & small rod) are never off that much.

The hopper has a replaceable bottom seal if your powder is leaking noticeably.
 
I use the Pro with disks and chargebar. I bought the RCBS Uniflow and got the micrometer to go with it -- after setting it up and working with it I really found it no more accurate than my Lee Pro disk....so I returned it and bought bullets from Precision.

And like others mention -- a kit is $5 so if you want a specific charge then drill the holes.
 
looks like "mix-n-match colors" is the watchword of the day here....I also use LEE Auto Pro disc with swivels....have them mounted on.....Lee Pro-1000 and on my 550B.....they work great....even use the double disk for my .223 loads....but I have Dillon measures too that work great....but LEE's are lots cheaper and work just great for me. RCBS Uniflow for single stage rifle loading on Rockchuckers.......even an ancient orange Lyman 55.....
 
I've got 4-5 auto disc measures. I like the old spring-return version with the chrome plating and smoked grey hopper the best. I've got a Lyman 55 but honestly I find the Auto Disk to be as versatile as I need it to be. I have certain loads that it drops +0/-.1 grains and if I need a certain specific load it won't drop with factory discs I take an undersized disk and hone it slowly with a round file to get what I want.
Can't get better for the price. I have one dedicated to rifle with a double-disc kit on it.

Only thing I wish for is the hoppers to not crack at the screws. I modified mine so they won't anymore.
