Powder measuring gear revisited.

[jay.sharkbait]

I've been using nothing but my Lee dippers for over 30 years. Never felt the need for anything else. But then I don't load a high volume of cartridges. I may load 100 or 150 one year and then not load anything for a few years. Normally the most I load at one time is 20. So the Lee dippers along with my 32 year old RCBS scale and a powder trickler are all I've ever needed.

It really is all you need. The rest is just a luxury.

I'll break out the Redding measure for high volume, but otherwise, it typically has the pistol barrel and would take me longer to change out than to load a tray.

I have the Hornaday. It works great and is easy to use right out of the box.

Any thoughts on the OP's comments?

Warm up time, at least 30 min.  Poor results with extruded powders out of the box.

Not sure about a warm up time as mine works within seconds, I always calibrate mine before each reloading session. Mine seems to work with every powder I've put through it without the McDonalds straw mod.
 
My buddy had the Lyman and just upgraded to the RCBS CM 1500 and has been tickled pink. He can't believe the difference in the two units. He said the Lyman would never throw accurate charges, he also said he had to constantly rezero the pan.

I'll stick with my rcbs powder drop and Redding trickler and beam scale

I started using the Lee Auto-Drum about 6 months ago.  I'm getting drops consistent to +/- 1/10th of a grain using extruded powders with no modifications.  I was going to go with a Lyman Gen 6, but very happy I tried the Auto-Drum first!
