In using the Auto Disk Powder measure, is there any spilling of powder after the cartridge is charged and the next die (bullet setting) is engaged. I may have to do some reloading in my house and don't want powder (droppings) around the house if possible.
 
Minor spills are going to happen no matter what you use. Make sure your reloading surfaces are easy to clean.

A small cordless vacuum cleaner comes in handy. Dump it in the yard after every use so powder doesn't accumulate. Powder makes good fertilizer and this is probably the best way to dispose of it short of a controlled burn or shooting.

Nope, none. At least for Accurate #2 (very fine ball powder). Maybe I just "got a good 'un," but the expected 'droppings' haven't appeared -- I keep a clean bench (as wally suggests) and a mini-whisk-broom (with dustpan) handy, but so far it's only needed for primer residue when cleaning pockets.

I use the Lee as a single-stage that doesn't need to be reset, however -- 50 reps of decap and resize, 50 primer, 50 powder, etc. If you're using it in auto-index mode, the correct answer is "Uhhh..." ;)
