My Fix for Leaking Auto Drum
Posted: 26 Aug 2020 17:11
I never could get my two Auto Drums to stop leaking with small grain spherical powders. I tried to make the Lees work because I use them on my Lee turret and enjoy the auto activation feature. I read up on other options and decided upon the RCBS Uniflow with an adapter to sit on the Lee powder through expander die, but with manual powder activation. I am impressed with the repeatability of the measure and NO LEAKS!
There is a downside to this setup; the measure is pretty heavy compared to the polymer Lee measures, so the added weight puts more strain on the indexing system, so I have to index more slowly and deliberately so as not to bind up the system or overshoot the next die position. Not a deal-killer at all, I just have to adjust my turret indexing method a bit.
And the icing on the cake? RCBS is running a rebate!
