I use my old RCBS 505. It it zeroed and checked with a Lyman set of check weight just prior to the testing.

Here are the results for HS-6 and Trail Boss powders using the Lee Classic Powder Measure.

With HS-6 the results were the same as Bullseye with a .01g difference in only 2 out of the 10 drops. I did no further testing HS-6.


Trail Boss Data:
Measure adjusted for 14.6g with approximately 2 second fill time. Individual weights as listed for each dispensing.
1- 14.6g
2- 14.4g
3- 14.6g

6- 14.4g
7- 14.6g
8- 14.8g
9- 14.6g
10- 14.5g

Then 5 drops of the Trail Boss 14.6g were performed with approximately 2 second fill times and measure in bulk for a total of 73.3g or a 14.66gg average.

I think this a big improvement to Lee's powder management line-up. I tried using the other Lee powder management tools before this one, and I wasn't too happy with them. I now have one of these on my bench, and it shares powder management duties with my Uniflow....a very good product.
