Well, it does work.
This powder measure can do the job for you. But, it has some sticky points.
I bought this powder measure specifically for loading .30 Carbine casings using the very fine grain LilGun powder on the Lee 4-die turret press.
When it arrived I found it would not consistently throw a charge of 14.5 grains of LilGun powder. The charge would vary as much as 0.3 grains. The .30 Cal M1 Carbine is VERY picky concerning its ammo. That is too much variation to be acceptable for that round. Researching the problem on YouTube gave me several "fixes" to repair the measure's inconsistency. One was to smooth the rough finish of the outside of the powder drum. I did this by sanding with 200 then 400 grit sandpaper until I had a smooth finish. This allowed the drum to rotate much more smoothly in its mounting. The second fix involved removing the "slop" in the operating rod that rotates the drum as the casing is forced up into the powder measure. I did this by holding the rod in its up most position, drilling a small hole through the lifting mechanism and the rod, then pinning them together with a small pin.
These two modifications improved the consistency of the throw so that now most of the powder throws are almost exactly 14.5 grains with the largest variation I have had so far has been only 0.1 grain. This is acceptable precision for me.
Since it is now working properly, I am mostly happy with it. I don't like having to completely remove the powder bottle to refill it. The bottle has a key on it so that it only mounts one way into the body. It is a very tight fit. It is possible in trying to get it on and off the machine to have the rotating piece that controls the bottles powder valve to jump off the screw head that holds it in place. When this happens the bottle will not stop rotating at either the "open" or "closed" position and it is possible to pull the bottle off the body with the opening not quite closed. Powder everywhere!

Primer Chute Upgrade for Dillon 650 press
I have used the Dillon XL 650 press for about 10 years. Thousands of rounds processed through it and hundreds of live primers down the original sky-slope primer catcher and onto the bench or onto the floor. Since there are almost always a few primers that must be ejected from the machine at the end of a loading session, or some that fall out as a result of a case feed problem or operator interruption, the old primer chute has ALWAYS been a weak point of this machine. Now, with this primer chute upgrade the primers fall through a enclosed chute into a small bottle. Works like a charm - no more primers on the bench or in the floor. I highly recommend this as a modification for the 650 press - y' gotta get 'er guys!
