Any experience with Frankford Arsenal Powder measure?

I'm looking to buy a different powder measure. The Platinum Series Powder Measure seems to be a good deal. I'm not a benchrester, but my Lee plastic measure just isn't getting it.

I have 2 FA measures and they work well. With ball powder they’re very accurate. With short stick powder (8208XBR) they’re accurate. With powders like 4064 they’re good enough. I have yet to see any powder measure that is super accurate with anything but ball powder. I shoot highpower and for 300yds and in I throw the powder from the measure. At 600yds and beyond, I hand weigh. The only exception is a ball powder load I use in one AR. On this load, I throw everything directly from the measure.

FYI, some polishing and beveling can help the accuracy/consistency of a powder measure.
