So after this morning's fiasco with the Lee Perfect Powder I've decided it's time to cry the second time. The Lee measure worked pretty well for Varget, but it makes a freaking mess of the place with finer stuff. Reloading for me is supposed to be an enjoyable, relaxing activity, not a hassle that leaves me with the chore of cleaning up a bunch of spilled powder. And the Lee measure just doesn't have that smooth action that I enjoy with my Dillon/Redding products.
Before anyone starts in with "just buy a 650 and be done with it", I've already got a Dillon SDB that I use for my two main pistol calibers. I use the Redding single stage primarily for calibers that I don't shoot often. Ideally I'll upgrade to a full boat progressive once I get myself situated in another state, but for now the single stage really fits my needs.
Okay, so the first time around I was looking at the Redding powder measures. They look great, seem to have great reviews but cost 10x as much as the Lee measures, hence my current predicament. I'm ready to blow the dust off my wallet and treat myself to something nice, but before I do I thought I'd ask the NES braintrust for some feedback from those who have used it.
I have also heard good things about the RCBS Uniflow but it sounds like they really get you on the extras (stand, drums, micrometers).
Thoughts?
Oh yeah, I'd probably get the set with both drums for both pistol and rifle loads.
