    Lee Auto Drum all the way. I have four of them and they all function flawlessly, and consistently. I've used them with Titegroup, Promo, Clay Dot, HS-6 and HP-38.

    I've noticed that Powder Valley is keeping more pistol powders in stock as of late. HS-6, HP38, even 231. It's nice to be able to to fill the powder magazine without mortgaging the house!
