Default Hornady case activated powder drop

Has anybody used this tool on a Lee Classic Cast Turret Press in conjunction with an RCBS Uniflow powder measure? Will it fit on the small as they are Lee turrets? Thanks for input.

Tom,
I think I'm partially on the same page as you. Don't know about the Lee press aspect. I do have my RCBS Uniflow on my Hornady powder drop. Although I was told a no problem fit I ended up using 3 washers as shims on each of the 2 screws that mount the arm onto the powder measure rotor. Hope this photo makes it clear.

Good Luck, Kevin

I use a Hornandy powder measure with their case activated kit on my Lee classic turret.
Works great and is pretty compact.

It says right in the case activated kit that it works with the Uniflow but I can see how washers might help as in the above pic as the uniflow is a bitt narrower than the Hornany measure.

I also use the powder through expanders, they also work great.

I spliced a hornady into an RCBS. It took some adjusting but it worked just fine once I did. The washers probably would have been a better approach but I just kept playing with it until it worked right.
