Works with Unique and W231

By Ralph J. on Feb 20, 2024
So far so good! Perfect operation with these two powders. It held the exact throw each time. I'm happy with it.

The big test will come when I try it with True Blue which is a very fine powder that leaked in previous powder measures.

Very good system

By Kamran D. on Jan 24, 2024
I am a huge fan of simplicity. This system works and has few adjustable parts so it's easy to service and get up and running. Even someone like me can take one apart, clean it, and put it back together. It's not expensive, so I have these on all my Lee Classic Turret Press toolheads. I have over 20 setups for my various calibers. Sometimes I have gotten a "lemon" which doesn't adjust no matter how much I tinker with it. In that case I sent it back to Lee and they sent me another unit which worked perfectly. For the most part these are THE way to go.

Very Accurate Powder Measure!!!

By Doug L. on Dec 28, 2023
I use this powder to measure everything from .380 acp to 5.56 rifle rounds. It measures very accurately, especially with ball powders. I've used it with a lot of different powders, including CFE-Pistol, TiteGroup, H335, Bullseye, Unique and a few others and the throws are VERY consistent and within .1 grain every time.

I now own 4 of these so I don't have to adjust the measure when I switch calibers on my Lee progressive presses.

These measures are worth every penny and they don't break the piggy bank either!

Of course Grafs ships promptly and always has what I'm looking for... in stock!!

Great Powder Measure

By Terry J. on Oct 03, 2023
I ordered this with my new Lee Classic Turret Press. I watched many of the videos on this device, so I was aware of the pros and cons of it from the get-go. Could it be made better, sure. But then you'd be paying a lot more for it. I plan to smooth out the drums where needed, and get some graphite to keep it running smooth. All in all, I like the design.

Nice for the price

By Terence P. on Feb 21, 2023
Lacks consistency when used on a turret press. You set it up in one position, but in use it gets shaken around as it goes through the other operations and it drops a different charge after that.

Finicky, fragile, and high maintenance

By David B. on Jan 23, 2022
The nylon drum binds in the housing unless the tensioning screw is set to a very precise range. Also, the drum needs regular applications of dry graphite lube to keep from binding, and you have to watch it closely to make sure the drum is always fully rotating. I'm not wild about a critical safety component, the actuator cut-off, being made of very flimsy plastic. I don't like the bait-and-switch where you need to buy 2 additional components to use this on your press. On the upside, this measure produces very consistent charges when it's all adjusted and working, it doesn't seem to leak, and the quick-change hopper works brilliantly and makes emptying the hopper very easy.

Great Powder Measure

By Fredrick W H. on Jul 28, 2020
Just got one of these it has been something I have been looking at for a while. Got it mounted on my Lee Classic Turret press it works terrific, load is easy to adjust and is very accurate. I did encounter a problem with it leaking Ramshot Enforcer powder so I pulled the drum out to take a look at it everything looked fine so I put some graphite on it and the housing, started back up and same problem as I was taking the the drum screw out again I noticed the shaft on the drum was even with where the drum screw goes in,stopping the drum from being pulled into the housing a little further so I took a file and filed off about a 16th of an inch of the drum shaft put it back together and it stopped leaking completely. As far as emptying it when you are done I just take the whole turret off the press tip it upside down ,tap the housing with a wooden dowel a few times and you are good to remove the hopper after you turn it off. I still gave it 5 Stars because it works so well and would recommend it to anyone.

Lee auto drum

Works perfectly. I'm reloading so much faster now.

A must for your turret press

By Paul H. on Nov 19, 2018
I purchased this measure as part of my upgrade from the Lee Challenger Breech Lock press to their Classic Turret, and couldn't be happier. Yes, there is a bit of a learning curve, but I am making ammo in a third of the time it took on my single stage press. This measure works beautifully, and I have already ordered additional drums for the powders I use regularly.

Loving It

By Ronald W. on Oct 17, 2018
I have looked at these for awhile and finally tried it and I am glad I pulled the trigger on one. Very easy to use.

This is just the starter Kit. You need more

By Jeff S. on Feb 06, 2016
OK, you need to get the riser 90041 and the charging die kit 90995. So it may start off at 35 but once you are finished its $60. It does work and it takes a bit to put it together. Still not a bad price for a smooth powder measure.

I love this Lee case actuated powder measure.

By Joseph B. on Jan 21, 2016
This powder measure rocks ! Smooth operation , does not leak fine powder like H110, and throws accurate powder charges. I like it as much as my Lyman 55 that I have been using for 47 years. Hope it last as long.
