Re: Favorite and/or least liked Lee product.
I'd like to add these PMs to the list of favorite tool on my bench.
Perfect Powder Measure and the new Classic Powder Measure. With the New Classic getting the nod. But the PPM is dedicated to H4895 as it is always with in .1gr perfect.
Pro Auto-Disk Powder Measure
Lee Powder Measure Kit (the dippers)
Everyone of these Lee measures have powders they are perfect with and some they are just OK with. Once I went thru that learning curve they become a part of my method for reloading with specific powders.
I have a notebook listing all 7 different powder measures I have. On the pages of a specific PM I list the performance of that measure with the powders I use. By following a testing procedure with each PM and each different powder I know what measure is best suited for what powder.
Like most tools I use, I needed to learn how it works to make it do it's job.
I REALLY LIKE Lee Powder measures.

Re: Favorite and/or least liked Lee product.
My favorite is Lee dies in general. Even guys who swear by other loading presses like to use the Lee dies. My least favorite so far is the debuting tool. It is just too clumsy for me so I use a different product. I plan to get a classic turret press soon.

Re: Favorite and/or least liked Lee product.
My favourite is the Lee hand press, it's just so useful and I often take it to the range with me.
My least favourite the Lee zip trim, its been unused in the cupboard for a lot of years now.

Re: Favorite and/or least liked Lee product.
I know my LEAST favorites. All the products they announce and I get all hyped about trying only to never see them released!!!
Hello, Lee??? Collet bullet puller??? Remember that one??? I'm still waiting!!!
I'm really hoping the new auto drum powder measure isn't vaporware. I want that one BAD.
