Lee Auto-Drum

[Blue]

Has anyone here used Lee's Auto-Drum with the turret press?

There are loads for the .454 Casull that exceed the 1.57 max for the Auto-Disk; I gather from their site that it is more accurate than the Auto-Disk as well.

Post a link for dummies like me. Never heard of it and I have an auto-disc and a double kit.

I've been thinking about trying one. Let us know how it works.

So it's like my Uni-Flow with a lever added to work off the ram? I charge on my single stage press with my Uni-Flow but I have to pull its lever separate from the press lever.

I think it is activated with the powder through expanded die.

Hmmm....I have those too.

I use this to drop with the RCBS measure on a Lee PTE die...

Says it is case actuated so it is not supposed to dump unless there's a shell in it.

Are they admitting the auto disc is unpredictable with some powders?

They have always admitted that, particularly Unique.

My first, and current set-up, is the Classic Lee Turret.

Has been great for pistol reloading. Yes, consistent Auto-Disc loading with Unique is a challenge, but it works much better with Auto-Comp and CFE. Plus, I don't need match-quality pistols rounds, have come up with favorite Auto-disc loads. Anyway, Unique doesn't seem to be wildly inconsistent with varying loads, seems to be a very forgiving powder, so that variation hasn't mean' much to me with the recipes I load. Calibers are .38 Sp., .357 Mag, .45 ACP and .45 Colt.

Look forward to seeing more consistency with the Auto-Drum. I'm expecting delivery within the week.
