Anyone else buy a NEW Lee Auto Drum powder measure?

But ... does that actually return an Auto-Drum to its original configuration?

The link I posted that you quoted is only for the Auto Disk to use the new round hopper that the Pro Auto Disk uses. It is NOT for the Auto Drum.

One thing I would like to find a report on would be how readily their clear bottle can be refilled. I am picturing something real tippy, begging to make a mess and needing some weighted thing, say a tin can with lead bullets in the bottom, to provide a stable bottle able to support a funnel.

It's a PITA (well not that bad) but unnecessary IMHO

Turn off the measure by turning it. *be sure it is the right way or powder will flow through. Now remove the powder hopper and screw thing. Invert powder hopper so screw cap thing is up right. No unscrew that. No add or dump powder. Screw cap back on. Invert and push into the powder measure, turn it the opposite way and you are back running.

Now to me, as with all other powder measures known to man, Remove the lid and put powder in has worker forever , Why this??

As I mentioned before, who is gonna screw a original, black 1 pound container on and not be able to see how much powder is in there??

Dramworx has a very nice but pricey alternative.

This is how they should have been made in the first place.

Looked at that and find absolutely no reason to spend $50.00 just for a hopper. The one on the measure works just fine. But it's your money so spend it how you wish.

I have one year old or less auto drum, auto-disk, perfect powder measure, and deluxe perfect. All red hoppers all new or seldom used. I can sense it’s time to sell, sell, sell. Well, after the vaccine...
