I have a Hornady LnL progressive press. I have been buying (at $25 a pop) a separate quick change powder die for each caliber I load. It's been working out well for the most part. Just for fun though I bought a Lee Auto Disk powder measure. It is case activated and you screw it on to a Lee powder through expander die. For about the cost of the Hornady powder die I could potentially have an entirely separate powder measure for some of the calibers that I load....assuming that I have a lee expander die for that caliber. I set it up for my 357 magnum as a test. I'm using H110 (or Winchester 296 if you prefer). The disk metered out the correct amount of powder, but it leaks a bit. H110 particles are pretty small compared with some of the other powders that I use, and the hopper on the auto disk is a bit small for the necessary 19gr of H-110. I'm thinking of testing it with HP-38 which is a bit bigger. If I can put this thing into duty for my .380, .38 spcl, or something then that would be great. Anybody have experience with the auto disk and various handgun powders?
