I am currently using a Lee Perfect Powder Measure with the 2 powders I have. WSF meters great and doesn't leak. AA#9 is a mess. The super fine AA#9 powder leaks a lot and works its way in between the body and crank plate. After a few charges, it gets difficult to operate. I have tightened the screw, but in order to slow the leaks, it gets too tight to operate. I have concluded that this cheap powder measure is not a great one for AA#9.
Any recommendations for a powder measure that works better with #9?
I use the RCBS UniFlow for 35 years, that has two different size drums with the adjustment stems to match...only time powder gets on the table, is if I spill it. ;D
A friend of mine tried the Lee measure with H110, same thing.
I use an old Lyman 55 and a Lyman 1200 auto scale.
Yeah, the Lee Disk set-up doesn't like most Accurate Ball Powders
Way too fine
I use the RCBS Little Dandy and it works great
Here is my collection of LD Rotors:

Another recommendation for the RCBS Uniflow. Accurate powders and the Uniflow work extremely well together. I see usually less than 1/10th grain variation from throw to throw. No leaking powder either.
I have one Uniflow on the progressive, and another standalone. With a micrometer screw, returning to prior settings is a snap. This is definitely getting into some cost, but I think of reloading gear as lifetime investments. The Uniflow without the micrometer screw dispenses just as well, but it is a bit more trial-and-error to get back to prior settings.
Thanks for the replies. Looks like the Uniflow will be on my shopping list.
A#9 powder loves the standard Dillon measure. Ive only had difficulty with large flake powders like 800x.
AA 9 working fine with hornady LNL powder measure. They make stand alone versions also.

The LNL looks almost identical to the RCBS Uniflow, so not doubt would be a good measure.
All Accurate powders leak from my Lee Perfect Powder Measure. I just deal with it and put a piece of paper underneath so clean up is a breeze.
