Powder dispensers

[alanwk]

Setting up a new Lee Classic turret press. What are your suggestions for a powder dispenser to fit on the Lee flow through die. Throwing a charge manually would be ok (and cheaper

). Thanks. I am worn out watching youtube videos.

There must be a better option than my old Redding

IMHO... the Lee disc powder dispenser is great. The "new" drum gadget isn't worth my time trying to make it work.
I have 4 of the disc type, and they all work well. Now, these are for "pistol" type charges...
Up to around 12 or so grains depending on the powder you use.
Your mileage may vary...

I'm not familiar with the Lee system but most dispensers have given more variance than I liked as the level of powder changes in the dispenser.

I'll second that. The disc chargers work really well for me too for most pistol rounds. I've got a Lyman manual powder dump I use for my rifle rounds and magnum pistol rounds.

I agree, with different types of powder (flake, ball) it will meter differently, but for general reloading, it works just fine for me. From .380 up to .45 colt.

This is my experience as well.
