Hi all,

I'm after a powder dispenser for use with a lee classic turret press. I load .308, .303 British and .375 h&h.

Whats recomended? The lee one looks good but will it load these cases?

cheers

James

The Lee Perfect powder is “large” enough and will be quite adequate. I have a friend who uses one and he really likes it.

I use a Hornady L-N-L or RCBS Uniflow powder measure for rifle cartridges. If you don't want to use the Lee PPM, you can use the Hornady Case Activated Powder drop with either of these measures. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=591344

I use a Lyman #55 powder measure in my turret press for both rifle and handgun loading. It has worked well for me since about '68.

A pro-auto disk with a double disk may fit your need, max load 3.14cc .

I like my RCBS, I also have Lyman, if it will fit my Hollywood will work for any rifle powder. For pistol the Lyman is real good. I have the Hollywood on my Lyman Turret Press. Tall tube what you need for say 300 pygmies or as you blouwts say .303 British.

I too use a Lee Classic turret and the Lee auto disc measure,,,, thats what you want the Hornady adapter would cost more than the Lee and you don't have a measure

with the lee you will need a rifle charging riser die,, this gets the measure high enough to activate the drop

if you have any more questions just ask and you will get answers.. even some you didn't ask for

Have a nice Day

Hi Ray,

thanks for that. So I need the Lee Auto Disk and the Rifle charging riser die, correct? And this will work in a semi progressive manner on the cast turret press?

I am using Red Dot for a change for my current loads after reading Ed Harris' article on it. It sure is a bulky load... I wonder how it feeds through the auto disk?

I'm loading a lot of .303 british for off hand shooting at present. Also .308 for a Omark Model 44 single shot target rifle and the .375 h and h for target shooting: very accurate with 265 grain lyman projectiles: 1.5 moa.

Thanks for your help on this one,

and good luck with the lead scrounging! I always thought Australia was way more pollitically correct than the US but lead is readily available here, loads of wheel weights, scrap available from junk yards etc. I guess the other truism works here: we're always 10 years behind the rest of the world... thank God!

cheers

I know this is a old post but maybe I can help someone with this info as I also use a Lee.Buy the 450 powder Die and adapter from Dillon and you can mount and use any press you want. I load black poeder so I have two BP measures. These parts will fit the turret and then you mount the measure of your choice.
