Lee Auto Drum Powder Measure quality...

[Mark_Mark]

As long as it’s run by the rank & file and old timers it’ll be a fine place. But if they go up the ladder I think there’ll be a lot of mistrikes.

I wonder how the big factory in Texas is doing. Remember the guy who posted on here his buddy’s buddy got a personal tour?

I heard nothing but scandal and mis use of fund for the huge investment they got for the Texas factory. Me, don’t care anymore

I hope your right about the old timers!

Well... another Lee basher figuring out that he was using the equipment incorrectly.

Imagine that.

When I was having the same troubles, I called Lee. I listened carefully to what the very helpful woman told me, and then followed directions. Some adjustments later, I'm using a very accurate powder measure.

I'm not saying that going on a forum and screaming about JUNK ! JUNK! isn't fun, but it won't fix the problem. Perhaps checking with the people that designed and built it would be a good first step..

The only mistake I made was that I used the large drum instead of the small drum. When I contacted Lee, I very carefully read what they said and did it. But they never told me to check the drum size. So, nice try. Plus, the comments here were helpful.

Wow! you should do a Lee Auto Drum, Stand Up bit. U’m dieing laughing right now.

A wise man once told me, “ You get what you pay for” in Lee’s case, you pay 1/2 the shipping and 1/2 the retail

The AD came free with my Loadmaster kit. I still feel ripped off. BTW, I love my Lee turret, auto-disk, and perfect measure.

Pardon me but step number 1 in Lee’s instructions is entitled “select appropriate drum” so nice try.

When using both the disk or drum in my LCTP i always pour the powder first so while i'm decapping and priming the vibration will settle the powder. Also, with new drums with the machine marks i will either buff them out or 400 wet sandpaper spun in my drill press at low speed.

very true statement.

Roll Call:

That was MY suggestion. (Drum size) I win!

I'm glad we got to the bottom of this issue.

I'll close this thread now
