On another thread it was mentioned that Lee disk powder measures will work on Dillon presses (the 450 and 550 were mentioned specifically.) I have a Lee Loadmaster with 6 heads for different calibers, all with their own powder measure. I think occasionally about switching to a Dillon 650 for its (presumably) more reliable case feeder and straight tube primer feed, but the cost of the fully equipped heads has always been a stumbling block.
Dillon powder measures, in particular, add a substantial amount to the cost of a separate head for each caliber. (I know I could move a single measure from head to head, but I'm not used to doing that and don't want to have to start.) But if my Lee measures are transferable, that would change the economic analysis.
Anybody know for sure if the Lee measures would fit and work on a Dillon 650 tool head? Do you use the Lee expander die, or fit the Lee measure to a Dillon die? Any limitations on specific calibers that do/don't work?
Thanks for sharing any experience.
