296 leaking problems

ECLIPSE45ACP · April 12, 2007, 06:25 AM

Does anyone else have problems with 296 leaking on their auto-disk? will the pro update kit cure these problems? or should I go to the perfect powder measure and dump each charge manually? I love the powder, but frankly it is starting to be a pain in the butt.

You could try VVN110, but it costs twice what H110 does. The PPM leaks badly too with fine powders, it really only works well with stick powder. The Auto Disc will also leak with fine powders no matter what you do in my experience.

I would buy a better powder measure, a Redding 3BR will meter anything you put in it to a tenth of a grain and last forever.

Would the pro-disk eliminate these issues?

No, it really isn't much better if at all in regard to leaks.

I am happy to report, despite other opinions, that my new pro-disk I invested in works like a charm, not one single visible leak. I also upgraded to the classic turret and replaced my standard. Thanks Lee precision for once again providing a great product.
