Considering a standalone powder measure?

If you decide to abandon the Auto-Disk design altogether, you can stick Lee's $4 funnel (it is a precise fit) on the die and pour powder by hand.

A separate powder measure off to the side or powder scoops would add about 4 seconds to each round's processing time and might be more accurate (even scoops, if your technique is consistent) do well in the accuracy department, though Lee's tables will still tell you too light.

Or, you could mount a different design powder measure just barely above the press and drop powder manually into that same funnel. You just have to build a mount that will position it correctly. It could be stationary, like mounted on the wall behind the press or a tall mount from your workbench surface or mounted on a threaded rod screwed into your unused die station. But that would shake the powder measure as the turret rotates.

Many ways to find solutions.

Good luck,
