I don't have an auto-disk, so can't offer specific help there. I do have a Lyman 55, A Lee Perfect Powder Measure, A Redding Model 3, and a RCBS Quick Change along with the measure on my Dillon 550b. Every one of them needs a few throws to settle in. Some work better with ball powders and others work better with extruded. The RCBS measure seems to work the best with flake powders.

Is the autodisk set up in a similar fasion to the PPM in that turning the hopper stops the flow? If so, I'd check and make sure it is opened all the way. I put index marks on my hopper to verify it was fully open or closed and didn't have to remember which way was which.
