Lee powder measure on a Dillon?

[3006guns]

I seem to remember reading that someone managed to install a Lee powder measure on a Dillon 550, but can't find the info now. I admire Dillon products but the price of another measure is a little steep for me right now. Does anyone have information on which measure they used and how the conversion was done?

Yep, quite a few people have done just that. Jeff Quinn over at GunBlast.com uses this setup. Here's the link to his review of IMR Trail Boss, a powder that he says meters very well through Lee's powder measure.

Since the die threading is standardized, you can mix 'n' match with pretty much whatever you want. Nothing "special" needs to happen.

Wow this has to go up for a CRB award.

I did. If you look in the Humor and off topic section at the "I fixed my bench" thread there is a picture of my 550 with the auto disk on it. Works like a charm.
