Discovered on 12/14/2011, some of the Auto Disk and Pro Auto Disk
Powder Measure units have left the factory without the drop tubes
fully seated in the Powder Measure.
SYMPTOM: the disk in the Auto Disk Powder Measure extends beyond the
face of...
The Auto Disk powder measure is primarily designed for reloading
pistol cartridges, but it can also be used for reloading rifle with
the addition of the Double Disk kit and Rifle charging die.
The Perfect powder measure is at its best when reloadin...
We recommend the use of the chain in conjunction with the Auto Disk
but this option is only applicable on progressive presses. Using the
chain as a way to reset the measure almost eliminates the chance of a
double charge because the carrier of the...
Make sure that when measuring charges thrown by the Auto Disk
measure, that it is done out of the normal loading sequence. It is
important that the measure work consistently in the amount of force
used to move the disk to the drop hole and return....
The Auto Disk and Pro Auto Disk powder measures are meant to work with
any Powder Through Expanding die that Lee Produces. The measure is
actuated by the case entering the Powder Through expanding Die. The
system has two ways in which the measure is ...
A couple things to look at. The pivot screw in the lever goes into a
bushing first, then through a wave washer, then into the body. The
lever rides on the bushing. Make sure the screw is tight and not
pinching the lever or washer.
Another problem is...
Install the "F" shaped pull back lever upside down, so the leg of the
"F" protrudes up into the disk. One end of the return spring hooks
into the middle horizontal bar of the "F" (there is a "V" shaped
cutout), the other end hooks into the groove cas...
A likely possibility, and one that is easy to check is the screw that
holds the return lever to the body. It's possible that this screw is
too tight, try loosening it and determine if that was the cause before
proceeding to other possibilities.

When installing a disk in the Powder Measure, remove the Powder
Hopper. The Disk is now set on top of the Powder Measure Body. There
is a small rectangular hole next to each powder capacity hole. The end

If no powder comes through the measure, there are 2 possible problems.
* You did not open the valve on the hopper to allow powder through.
* You do not have the Adjustable Charge Bar positioned properly over
the end of the actuating lever.

This kit consists of 15 dippers. Like our other powder measuring
products, these are rated in CCs. The dippers are very accurate and
through the use of a consistent technique, can be counted on to

If your scale is damaged or missing parts, please return the whole
scale to the factory for repair. To insure accuracy, the beam, poise
lock and pan all have to be calibrated as a unit.

The Volume Measured Density (VMD) of a powder is the volume in cc's
(cubic centimeter) that one grain of powder occupies. This can be used
to calculate the dipper, disk cavity or powder measure setting
required to obtain a desired weight of powder. T...
We do not produce anything at this time to charge cases for the 17
caliber or 204 Ruger.
The adjustable charge bar is used to achieve the exact charge
prescribed in the manual when a disk cannot provide it. It allows the
charge to be adjusted to all of those charges in between the existing
24 options available in the 4 standard disks.

The Auto Disk and Pro Auto Disk powder measures are primarily designed
to charge handgun cases. This is due to the capacity that these
measures drop. Even the largest cavity is not enough to charge rifle
cases larger than .223 sized. With the double ...
One fix is to reduce the amount of clearance between the hopper and
the disk by carefully sanding down the risers that the hopper is
mounted to. Place a disk between the risers with a piece of scotch
tape on top, and use a file or sandpaper attach...
The only powders that give the Auto Disk Powder Measure problems are
Accurate #5, Hodgdon H-11 or Winchester 296. All three of these are
very fine ball powders, and can get between the disk and the hopper.
The fix is to order the Pro Auto Disk upd...
.22 Hornet is a problem--small diameter neck, thin brass
The goal of our sizing die is to provide a case neck inside diameter
0.001" smaller than a standard bullet. This inside diameter changes
with the case wall thickness. We have to take a nominal...
The Auto Disk Powder Measure comes with 4 disks. Each disk has 6
holes. That results in a possible 24 different charges for each
different powder. The chart that accompanies the powder measure tells
you how many grains of powder each different hole i...
As with all mechanical devices enough clearance has to be built into
the device to allow movement of the components. Should you be
experiencing leakage, one fix is to reduce the amount of clearance
between the hopper and the disk by carefully sanding...
There are 2 parts subject to wear which affect the disk stroke. They
are the lever, and the actuator. The actuator slides on the drop tube
and moves the lever, which slides the disk. The lever can also wear,
but being steel is less likely to wear tha...
The Auto Disk Pro Auto Disk powder measures are meant to work with any
Powder Through Expanding die that Lee produces. The system has two

Lee makes two charging dies that work in conjunction with two
different powder measures for rifle loading.
The Rifle Charging Die (# 90194) works with the Auto Disk Powder
measuring system. This die works much like the Powder Through

Check the screw at the hinge point of the metal lever, make sure that
it is tight. If it is loose, it can cause the disk to not
fully return. Second, check the actuator (metal part that screws into
the powder through expanding die). If the measure h...
If you are using fine ball powders and have excessive leaking with
your Auto Disk Powder Measure, you are able to sand down the two
risers on the body to nearly eliminate leakage.
1) Remove the disks and hopper

The auto disk powder measure uses a system called Volume Metered
Density (VMD) to dispense powder. The cavities in the disk have a
number assigned to them which is actually the volume of the cavity in
cubic centimeters. The powder companies provid...
The auto disk dispenses powder using system called Volume Metered

that are required to hold a powder charge of a particular grain
weight. The load data we use is reprinted with t...
Try loosening the aluminum dial on the micrometer adjustment to see if
that loosens the adjustment rod. After the rod can be turned
re-tighten the aluminum dial.
The plastic injection mold we used to produce the Micro Disk Kit #
90302 was irreparably damaged this past year. Since sales are not
sufficient to build a new mold, we have decided to discontinue this
product.
You can use a .17cc dipper to charg...
We do not have a great means to mount the Perfect powder measure to
either press. It is not advisable to mount to either press for several
reasons. If using the Universal Powder Charging die for rifle cases,
there is no where to attach the return ...
Black powder can not be used inside the Perfect Powder Measure
Bumping against the stops when dumping and filling the metering
chamber usually causes inconsistent loads with the Perfect Powder
Measure. Be gentle at both ends of the stop when charging powder.
Also failure to condition the measure by running a po...
To eliminate leakage, disassemble the measure and clean thoroughly.
Dust with powdered graphite or mica, and re-assemble. Powdered
graphite is available at most hardware stores (often used as a dry
lubricant for locks). Work the lever back and for...
The powder manufacturers allow themselves a 16% tolerance in the
density of their powder, from lot to lot. We have to calibrate our
chart to show the high side of that tolerance, so you should never get
more than what the chart indicates, but you wil...
The red plastic powder funnel fits snugly inside the powder through
expanding die. The outside diameter of the lower cylindrical part of
our powder funnel is .60 inch, and the inside diameter of the funnel
