The chart with the Pro Auto Disk cannot possibly be correct for all the powders and weights listed. As they say in the instructions, it is based on the weight of a cc of a particular lot, and is a starting place only. Other powder measures I have had were all more of a guess than the PAD when trying to set them for a particular charge.
I have only used HP38 and Unique in mine and neither are within one grain of the chart for a particular disk hole. When you do find the hole for the load you want, it is by far the most consistent measure I have ever used.
