Lee Question????????????

[Maven]

All, I have deluxe (chromed) Auto-Disk measure (#90578) with a [coarse-threaded Phillip's head] screw-mounted hopper. The problem is the mounting holes in the hopper are right at the hopper's edge and have cracked. I.e., there's not much material there to screw the hopper down securely.* The hopper with brass bolts would be a huge improvement. On the other hand, a new hopper is only $2 + shipping....I'll telephone Lee Precison later to find out whether the brass-bolted one fits my measure.


*I can probably fill these holes with epoxy and D & T, but for $2 is it worth it?

OK guys, a question-Can the auto disk be used kike a normal powder measure ? Lee catalog says they MUST be used with powder through expansion die . I recently picked up an older turret press, and am trying to decide whether to stay with 3 hole non indexing or convert to 4 hole auto index. Gotta get at least 6 more turrets, which ever way I go. All my dies are RCBS and Lyman, so no powder through at this point. Naturally, budget is limited, as always. Any suggestions ????

Hmmm-Guess I hit the thread too late !

I have an auto disk and have used it as a stand alone powder measure.

Thanks 454PB. I have not even really seen one, just picture in Lee catalog. Is there a handle like on RCBS or what ? Is the bottom threaded so it can be mounted in press, or mounted independently somehow ? Totally in the dark as to how it is supported. I see the Pro has a chain activator on a lever that could be tripped by hand, but can't make out how standard model activates. Thanks Again for any info-jb12k
