If you've been following this blog, you know that I have had a problem quickly and accurately charging cases. I think I found an inexpensive solution; the Lee Auto-Disk Powder Measure that sells for around fifty bucks. Watch the video I shot today. The Auto-Disk took me about a half hour to figure out and install, and minutes later I shot this video. Check it out.
I've reloaded 200 rounds of .357 Magnum tonight in the time it would have taken me to reload 50 rounds using a digital scale or scoops alone. The 'Lee Auto-Disk' works great and is very consistent. I weight the load every 10 rounds and it was always within 1/10g. I told you in earlier posts that the 'Lee Perfect Powder Measure' is far from perfect, so I hope you believe it when I report that the 'Lee Auto-Disk' works.

Hi Bob
ReplyDeleteI use an auto disk for most of my reloads.You will find that the more you use it the consistency will improve. Once you put some powder through it the insides get coated with powder.
You also can get a adjustable charge bar and double disk kit so you can drop almost any weight you want.
Great! That's good to know that you've been using it as well Dirk. Looks like it will do the job nicely. I was able to charge 50 cases in minutes tonight instead of taking about 45 minutes having to measure and weigh each load. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteGreat video on the Lee Auto Disk Bob,I'm glad you pointed out to always check your charges and not trust the cheat sheet that come with the disk. Have you tried throwing some charges of Unique using the Auto Disk,I don't use that particular powder but I hear from many reloaders that it's doesn't throw real consistent charges probably due to it's bulkiness for lack of a better term. Anyways the Auto Disk should really speed up your loading process.
ReplyDeleteNot yet Ronnie, though I heard that could be a problem. I'll let you know.
