Re: Lee Auto Drum
Based on comments and reviews like the ones here, I bought an auto-drum measure a couple of months ago and am very happy with it so far.

I personally like that the hopper comes off. Super easy to empty the powder at the end of a reloading session. Just turn it to off, put it over the open powder container and turn it to on and all the powder drops into the container.

Well I've about had it with the PPM. It's old, been used some, and won't hold calibration like it used to. Sooo I'm going to put my order in to Titan for the Auto Drum.

Re: Lee Auto Drum
If my PPM gave out, I think I would be inclined to get another. I was using my PPM to drop rifle charges just before my mule deer hunt and that bugger was spot on across several cartridges I was working with. I do have another waiting in storage.

Re: Lee Auto Drum
I've had my new Auto Drum for only a couple of weeks now & have only used Bullseye in it & it meters great.
The big test will be when I try Unique in it.
I noticed a few flakes of Bullseye below the powder charger, this evening, & was somewhat surprised since I didn't think this thing leaked. Anyone else have a similar experience? My 1st thought was that I didn't have the drum thumb screw tight enough, but I'm not so sure that's where it came from. I'm hoping it didn't leak from the chute area by the spring. That would not be good.
