Another vote in favor of the Lee powder measures. The Pro Auto disk with an adjustable charge bar is what I use and it is always within .1 gr.
One thing I did to improve its performance with larger flake powders (ie: settle down to consistent charges quicker) is to put a little homemade baffle into the hopper and try to keep the hopper filled above half.
Someone said that the Lee powder measures don't work well with fine ball powders. I find the case to be the exact opposite. My Pro Auto disk dispenses fine ball powders with EXTREMELY consistent and accurate charges.
They will work on other presses via case activation, but will require the powder thru expander die from Lee.
I definately recommend getting an adjustable charge bar... very repeatable and accurate and no disk changing. (and only about $6)
Also recommend the Pro version over the Deluxe version due to the little rubber wiper and the shut-off valve.
