Here's a new take on using your preferred powder throw above your Lee turret press...this powder stand will do more than that though.

Mr Don...I noticed that adapter plugs into the top of the die with two 'O'rings...Does the powder throw move sideways when you throw a charge or does it stay as you placed it? I noticed it doesn't lock into the die top with threads, it fits like the powder funnel.

I made one similar to that one for my Dillon 650 I use for rifle loads. It bolts to the strong mount 1"od tube with plugs pressed in each end, It bolts to the strong mount with one 5/16 24 bolt ( had to drill a hole in the strong mount for it to mount). The bar is adjustable for length on a slotted slide to accommodate different measures and has 2 ends one flat for c-clamp style mounts, and one 7/8 14 for thread mounts. It is 1 1/2" by 3/4" with the slide milled into ends and a clamp for the 1" tube on one end of the back half. the front half is 2 pieces one flat and one with the 7/8 14 hole. Its adjustable in and out up and down and side to side with just a 3/16 allen wrench. I use my harrels on it a lot when loading rifle ammo. But have the option of the rcbs uniflow, little dandy, lyman 55.
If you wanted to save doing the press in ends a 1" cold rolled round bar can be used with hole drilled in one end. I used the tube because 1) it was available and 2 it saved some weight.
The new Lee measure that is designed to work on the press is (dare I say) more accurate than a Uniflow (I own 5), a lot lighter, has a small and large drum and is a LOT less expensive.
When you add a baffle and the powder weight down gizmo (Ebay), the Uniflow is OK w/short cut and ball.
Big stick powders demand an electronic dispensing measure.
I'm not here to debate powder measures OR stands for that matter. Just showing methods of using your existing equipment with a new purchase. I had the Uniflow. I bought the LCT. For 15 bucks I am able to use them together. Problem solved.
Mr. Don,
Do you supply your adapter threaded instead of the O rings? It is a 5/8" OD thread, I forget the thread pitch.
Have a blessed day,
Leon

Looks like o-ring only.
I've been using this stand for a bit now, had another thread on here about it a week or two ago. Works great for what i need to do with it. one benefit i see is that you keep the weight off the turret for when it indexes. not a huge deal but easier to run the handle if that matters. have not tried with one on the press other than the lee auto disc. I know he's also looking at other uses for that stand, like for case trimming.

Thanks for sharing the video. Too pricey for me though...

I like the idea as I have two drum measures, the Redding 3BR and the Lee Classic. I also have two Auto Drum measures that work really, really well. I dedicated one Auto Drum to the large drum and the other to the small drum.
For $75 I could buy two more Auto Drum measures and still have money for a 6-pack of beer.
I might take a stab at making one using surplus angle iron I have laying around.

I am a little confused.
Why would anyone run their uniflow or LNL dropper on a stand above the press when they can buy case activated linkage and mount it directly to the press? Heck, even without case activated linkage you can mount it to the press directly.
Is it to save money on a QC Powder die? Those are only $22 or so.
This setup works for the Uniflow and the LNL Dropper and probably a few other drum droppers. Use it with a Powder Funnels universal PTX bushing and you are set.

He didn't want the extra weight of the Uniflow on top of the Lee press...think it was because he thought it would wear the plastic thingie that rotates the press...don't remember exactly what he said motivated him.
I'd rather put it on the turret but I use a T Mag II and weight on that turret isn't so noticeable.

It is quite a weight difference over something like the Auto Drum. Plus the torque from raising the drop lever tends to loosen things up.
