Both the Classic, now renamed Deluxe are every bit as good and I know to be better than the PPM. It is the very upgraded micrometer metering chamber that is is most significant. Truely one click .01 cc adjustments are easy to set and 9recorded and later precisely reset. But also the fact that the "drum" of Classic/D8eluxe is brass. This brass drum is very precisely machined where as the PPM's plastic drum have some slight dips. Thus these upgraded PMs are more consistent. I am a HUGE fan of my Classic. It as precise and repeatable as my Harrells and handles extruded powders better.

No, the Deluxe will not with the UCD.

I'll second what daboone said about the Deluxe

I like my PPM and use it almost exclusively with my BPCR loading, but I've become even a bigger fan of the Deluxe particularly when loading small charges of fine powder as in under 9 grains of True Blue, very consistent and no leaks. May just be the best thing from Lee in recent history.
