"Mike Irwin might, though... he's a seasoned shooter and reloader who will know that Reloder15 is too long of an extruded powder, that H110/W296 is abrasive in this measure, and the best powders for this measure are H4895SC or some other short cut extruded powder..."

Want to know something?

At the time I bought my Lee equipment, I had experience with exactly THREE powders...

WW 231

Red Dot

IMR 4064

At the time I got my Lee equipment I'd have to say that I was a highly experienced reloader, but not a seasoned one, because my experience came in a VERY narrow band.

All the other powders I've listed?

I started loading those after I purchased the Lee equipment.

I bought the Lee equipment on price alone, and have never had any need, or reason, to look back.

Lee claims that their powder measures work perfectly well with extruded stick powders, and claim that the elastomeric wiper system eliminates powder granule cutting of the kind you get with the Uniflow.

Good? Bad? Indifferent? I've no clue on that score, but I do know in the very few instances in which I've used my disk measure to throw charges of IMR-type powders, I've not had any complaints about the performance as compared to my Uniflow...
