Accurate with what kind of powder? That may be the better question...



I use my Lee PPM for everything from Bullseye/H110 in pistol to H1000 in rifles. With Benchmark/XBR8208 range of powders, you can drop a load pretty close to the desired weight as long as the hopper stays full. This will not occur as the hopper empties or with larger stick powders. With any type of ball powder, H335, H110, etc. the Lee PPM leaks. When I mentioned accuracy, it would be preferred to have a powder measure that is accurate in terms of being able to set a charge and drop it without weighing every charge. This tall order goes for rifle (stick) or pistol powder (ball). Other have mentioned a Chargemaster....I've had one for years and don't use it. I can load/trickle faster with the PPM over the CM.
