    I tried the Lee powder measure that came with my kit. It wouldn't repeat if I begged it. I moved to a readding unit. It is from the 70's It works great except flake powders. 800x, 700x, are the worst. I loaded some .380ACP with it. and trying to get 2.2gr of 700x. It would throw as low as 1.3 and as high as 2.7 after 30 loads. GRR! I am changing to TiteGroup, Powerpistol, or 231. But at such small amounts I am still getting up to a .5gr variation in 10 pulls. I am using a RCBS digital scale. Any thoughts on a Powder measure that doesn't have me checking EVERY load?

    I love my Lee Single Stage kit otherwise
