Most powder measures are only as good as the operator. A while back, a guy did a series of tests (published in Precision Shooting magazine), and came to the conclusion that the $30 Lee was just as accurate as the $225 Harrell measure. And he's right.

I own a Harrell and I own a Lee. The Harrell is easier to "dial up" a load with, so I use it more.

That said, I've also got an RCBS Uniflow with a bottle adaptor, micrometer adjustment, stand and 6" clear drop tube. It's also accurate, when operated in a consistent fashion. I just liked the Harrell better. It fits in my range box.
