I have the auto drum and i recently found out how bad it was at metering H4895 (extruded powder) to the point I am not going to use the auto drum for H4895 anymore but rather hand measure every charge on a scale for that powder.

It meters spherical powder H335 and CFE223 well enough for my purposes (not long range/bolt action/high precision stuff).

got the newer version with the clear plastic bottle and canister adapter. I like the old powder hopper better. I know the newer one is designed to work by screwing the powder container directly to the AutoDrum - I just need to adapt to this method. Overall, I think it is a great value compared to a Dillon PM and is less clunky. I had good epx with short stick powder like RL15.
