I used to reload about 10 years ago when I was in college, but a lack of time and money compelled me to sell off my equipment and give it up. At the time I didn't have an automatic powder measure and just used a trickler & scale. I absolutely hated that part of reloading because it was so tedious.
So now I'm planning on getting back into reloading with a Lee turret press. I'm probably going to start with .40 S&W and .308. I want to go with some kind of auto powder measure, and I'm wondering how the Auto Disk works. I keep reading about having to swap out disks for different calibers - do different disk sizes determine how much powder it throws? If so, that seems like it wouldn't give you much ability to adjust the powder charge. Any opinions on whether I should go with a different measure? The package deal I'm looking at from Cabelas includes the Auto Disk with the press, so that's why I'm asking.
