Lee PP powder disp.

[Kevin Stenberg]

I didn't want to hijack Bens thread (as if I have enough knowledge to hijack it) on the new Lee powder disp.
He mentioned about fixes for lee's dispenser. I have a fix for the leaking of fine grained powder. We use the lee method to clean up casting molds. I do the same thing between the rotating drum and the housing that it fits into. 3 or 4 times of leementing it and all my leaks are history.
Now if I could only figure out how to convert the markings on the adjusting rod. To pre-determine powder quantity. I would be a happy camper.

Remove the drum from the powder measure, back the adjustment rod out to open up the cavity. Weigh your charge and put your powder in the cavity. Now twist the adjustment rod until the powder charge is level with the top of the cavity. You should be within 99% of the desired adjustment.

Put the drum back into the powder measure body, throw a few charges and fine tune as needed.

I found this trick over on the Brian Enos Forums.
