My $ 0.05 fix for Lee Auto Drum Powder Measure 

I had the same problem and drilled a 1/16" hole through the rod and the lower bracket and inserted a small finish nail through the hole and snipped the xtra off.

Anything that fixes a problem is solid gold, in my book! When you are loading, you sure don’t want a problem like that. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for taking the time to post this…I have dont have one yet, but planning to purchase one for my breechlock pro…this will be one of the first things I will check for…and if needed, now know what I need to do to fix….again, thank you from Montana.

Great fix. I think I would pin it. Easy to remove if needed.

Great fix brother! Can’t believe it had that much movement, glad ya figured out a fix 😊🇺🇸👍👏👏

Great info. Sir. I'm not having that problem yet. But we both know it's coming down the line with the plastic parts. Now I know what to do when it accrues Thank you..👍👍👍😎

I’m have this issue I believe, thanks for posting this.

I found your video after experiencing inconsistent measures from 5.0-7.2 never the same measure. It worked for 4.5 years perfectly, then it stopped being consistent. Lots of play in the gear, like you mentioned, "slop," I'm surprised that after replacing the 2 parts you mentioned it didn't fix it. I would have guessed with new parts there wouldn't be slop as it isn't worn. But, I have JB weld in the garage so I'll give that a go. Thank you for posting the fix.

Thanks for making this video. I like mine but I bent that linkage twice.

Thanks. I'll go look for your other video on disassembly. I've done it before but I don't remember the trick for getting total threaded portion with the thumb knurl out

Great video

Dammit! I have the same issue. I'm going to fix it . I've been using the perfect powder measure and a Lyman since the trouble began

Awesome thanks for sharing great fix so many people has the same problem thanks 👍👍

You've got a worth while hobby Les. With the cost of rounds these days reloading has to be a viable option.

That was a good fix . I use the JB Weld to keep the wood handles on all my casting molds too .

Thnx, You're great!

I was having the same problem and getting very erratic and inconsistent charges. I drilled and tapped that first shelf you put jb weld on and put a set screw in it. Now I can keep adjusting it if it wears out.

Nice easy fix

I consider the money I've spent on an autodrum wasted. The dumb upsidaisium powder bottle makes no sense. I buy 4 and 8 lb canisters of powder so being able to put a non transparent powder bottle on the press won't work out for me...and how are you supposed to see your powder level doing that anyhow? What am I supposed to do with the powder that I dropped to get the adjustment set? Can't remove the lid and drop it back in the hopper with the lid on the bottom! I thought it would be good for super small cartridges like .32 and .380 but at 2 to 3 grains charge weight of flake powder it isn't accurate. I did get the old style hopper. While it was an improvement it still isn't a good powder measure. I'll probably put it on my .38 spl rat shot turret. I can deal with the variations in powder on that loadmaster rig. I'm not a Lee Hater. I have 4 Lee presses, all 16 of my die sets are Lee, I use a Lee scale, bulge buster kits, bullet sizing dies, bullet lube, and case lube. I've used Lee equipment almost exclusively for 40 years. Autodrum...over-hyped and nearly as bad as the Pro 1000 priming system.

Haven't experienced such a problem

Years ago you were talking about the 300blkout. Iam reloading 300blkout. Wondering if did also? I'd like to load subsonic light bullets

My problem, like many others, is the spillage of fine grain powder from the drum. I can’t fix it!
