Lee Perfect Powder Measure Through Die adapter Multi Calber

thingiverse

So I've updated the file for this part due to two main reasons. The primary one was that I had it break on me right at the base of the 20mm base when the adapter is threaded into through die. Basically, if you thread the adapter tight enough into the through die, it can cause enough pressure to get the adapter to snap. And I was experiencing occasional powder jams while using H4350. So effectively, I moved the threads down a couple of mills and added a taper to the die so that the adapter can't press in when it's tight. As well, I expanded the hole through it all by expanding it to 6.25mm - a 223 case is a very tight fit if it gets pushed into the adapter, so still small enough to use for 223 but should prevent any further powder clogging. The original adapter allows you to put the Lee powder dispenser onto any Lee powder through die, which is fine but left me with two problems. One was that Lee powder through dies are typically for pistol calibers, and I am looking to use this for rifles - the original does not give a tight fit to the through die, it's a good fit but I prefer to create a single unit when done. As I have an unused 9mm powder through die, this is designed to fit that. I am reloading all of pistol calibers via a Dillon Square Deal B. I sized the hole to be small enough to accommodate 223 and should barely be enough for 30 cal. I haven't had the chance to run much powder through this yet but I will update as things go so the current through hole is 5.5mm dia, which is about the most it can be and still be good for 223. So there may end up with two versions - a 223 and a 6.5 to 30 cal. My current print was done using a .2 nozzle as that is what my printer is set up with for doing mini's.
