Besides the Lee Short Powder Charge Die, what else do I need to adapt the Uniflow to the top of the press? /Chris

The adapter that JB showed you will work. I used one on my Lee Classic cast turret for a few months until I got my Pro Auto Disk and it worked fine.

If you have any questions call, he’s a super nice guy and knows his stuff, really left me with a good impression.

The only reason I am thinking of switching to the Uniflow is the Uniflow throws consistant charges 100% of the time, right on the money. The Lee pro set up on my Lyman Tmag drops charges really bad with both the fixed disc and the adjustable disc. I was also thinking of switching to a auto index Lee classic turret. It would be sweet if I could make the auto disc throw decent charges. The Lee pro discs work great with smaller charges of Bullseye on my two 1000 presses. I am trying to drop 19.5gr of IMR 4227. Wish I could figure it out. /Chris

I simply threaded a new model Uniflow measure right into my 2nd Lyman T-mag Turret, rather than using a powder measure stand, or the stand off bracket.

I don't use case activated linkage or anything with my T-mag II, and when I turn the turret head to the Uniflow powder charge station, I just (lightly) raise the case up to the mouth of the Uniflow's green plastic powder drop tube, and then charge the case.

Probably using the wrong terminology calling the green plastic funnel piece a drop tube, but it's this part.

I use the Uniflow like this:

Guess I don't really understand what the riser is used for.

I also use my Uniflow screwed into the turret if my Lyman T Mag works good. Might need that riser with the Lee Turret because there is not much room between the dies

Thank you, that makes a lot more sense now. I have not used a Lee turret press, only the single stage versions, so I didn't realize the dies were quite so close together.

I just ordered and received two of these, 1 for me and 1 for my Dad as a Christmas gift. We both use the RCBS Little Dandy measures and these work really well with them!

The perfect adapter works great. I have one for both my Lyman 55 and my Lee PPM.
