    I took a chance and ordered one to use with my 4 position Lee Classic turret press. It works great with it! I always have an extra hole in the turret so I use either the powder checker or the Lee factory crimp in it. The text in the Midway entry says its for a progressive press, but it works well in a turret press too and really speeds things up while indicating immediately an under or over charge (or just right charge). The times I need the powder checker the most is small caliber cases that are too hard to look down into for powder level - This is where I use the RCBS powder checker. On larger calibers, I have no problem looking in and use the hole for a factory crimp die instead. This has worked out well.

    A good powder checker. Installed mine on the 3 station of my Hornady LNL AP press to check powder load. Saved me a couple times against double charges and squibs.

    This product indicates a double powder charge on my RCBS Pro 2000 reloading press. It has saved my gun, fingers and probably my eyesight many times.
