Labels to prevent powder spills

Post by Deleted User 1418 »

I change calibers often. I found the labeling on the Lee Auto Disk Powder measure to be inadequate. With better labels, at a glance, I can tell if the powder hopper is open or closed. I used to have a line drawn with a Sharpie, but I think the labels look better. Seems peculiar to me that Lee would emboss the base of the hopper so nicely and forget/ignore making a mark or indicator on the hopper.

Good job GarlyDog. I have used a label maker for a long time and labeled a lot of reloading things.

They sell label rolls that are made of paper I found that is the type I prefer because they stay stuck on better than the plastic rolls. I found the paper rolls at Walmart.

Thanks! I was about to use the plastic, but I do have some paper rolls, too. Will try the paper first.
