Powder thrower erratic.?

Post by native hunter »

G"Day All
I Have a lee powder thrower and it is shitful,it throws different weights everytime and varies when it is getting low or is full.
Do you all keep your thrower full or when do you top it up??
I'm thinking this thing has no baffle in it and that may be causing it to throw wildly.
What do you all think(apart from chuckinit.)
Regards
Damien Webb.

Mate they are absolute pieces of crap!!! I started reloading using one and i couldnt speak a single word of praise for them. Chuck it out and buy another one. I'm using a RCBS one atm which I find to be middle of the range and I'm very happy with it. Surprisingly some people like their lee thrower but I cant think why. Sure they are cheap, but you are still paying hard earned cash for crap.

Hope I wasnt too negative!!! :D

PS I do not know how much they are really going for but if you let me know how much you want for it I will see if I can break in to the kids money box.
