Other than one is round and the other has flat sides I don't see any difference but the Auto Disk is cheaper.

Re: Lee 9mm powder through expanding die and auto Drum
I realize this thread has been inactive for over a month but I just found it and wanted to comment. I load 147gr BBI moly coated 9mm bullets. I'm using the LM with the Hornady bullet feed die with the aftermarket feed adapter to interface with the lee bullet feed tubes. I could not get enough bell from the original Lee set up for the BBI's so went with a powder through expanding die from NOE bullet molds for the .38 (if memory serves me correct). Since the 38 case is deeper than the 9mm, I had to take the die to a machinist to have him cut 3/16" off of the tip of the die as the original depth of the die crushed/packed the powder into the bottom of the case so tightly that I couldn't shake it out. Works great now and I just timed myself at 100 preprimed cases loaded in 9 minutes.

Re: Lee 9mm powder through expanding die and auto Drum
Ok, I finally did it. I put the flair insert in the lathe and cut it down so it will not flair a 9mm case. I use a Lyman M die to flair the case just before the powder die. It works fine. I have not tried any other pistol calibers yet, but If the 38/357 die works the same, I will give up and use this solution on it.
Thanks for all that helped on this.
