Powder Measure Recomendation

I have been using a Lee perfect powder measure but is anything but perfect. Leaks like crazy on fine ball power like H110 or AA #9. What do you recommend as a replacement? RCBS or Lyman or what? Tired of a cookie tin under the thing to catch all the power that leaks.

Sounds like every other one works and the Lee is .......... well you get what you pay for.
I'll take Lee products over any of the other over priced junk on the market any day. If a Lee Perfect Powder Measure is leaking it just needs to be fixed because if they all leaked they'd never sell a one of them. There's thousands of them out here that work perfectly.
Have a couple of Lee auto disk measures that came with the Pro 1000's and while they have issues they are few and managable, I do get consistent results. They are fine as part of the press system but would not buy one to use otherwise.
Had issues with the Lil Dandy I tried using once, probably due to extruded powders I liked using so it went buy bye.
Had tw different Uniflows and was happy with them. But when I got an old Ohaus in trade it became my favorite after I fabricated bottle. and I sold the Uniflow.
If I was buying new I would purchase the Uniflow.
The powder measure on a STAR progressive press Is the best their is for loading pistols.
Those are mighty strong words there, pilgrim
not that I really doubt ya.

I don't know about that. I have a number of Lee items and some work fine. They have been good on repairs but having a press frame break seems to be the result of a cheap product. Their scale is also cheap. Dies are fine. Perhaps when I get my new dispenser I'll send the perfect one back to lee and see.
