Putting a different powder measure on a Lee Classic

[Rando_Kommando]

After having consistency issues with the Lee Auto Drum. I bought a Lyman Brass Smith Powder measure and attempted to mount it to my Lee 4 hole classic. It threads in perfectly being most all are 7/8 14 threads. The issue I'm having is the height ( won't clear the priming station) and need some sort of riser that uses 7/8 14 female to male, which is tricky to find. ( looked in plumbing catalogs) I also found a couple of powder stands like the Tree Top Flier which mount directly to the Lee 4 hole Tree Top Flier stand which would be perfect. However, they're not being made anymore. My friend also has a Hornady powder measuer he can let me try out, I fear i'll still need some sort of riser.

Has anyone else mounted a different powder measure to their Lee 4 Hole before?

Have you looked at the Lee parts, could they work for your example?


These are their riser parts for getting the powder drop to clear other dies.

I have that kit for the auto drum. The missing link to all of this was finding a adapter that went from 7/8-14 to 5/8's. I searched many plumbing and industrial catalogs. Then I found the " Perfect adaptor" https://gun-guides.com/products/The-Perfect-Adapter™-by-Gun-Guides®-p83298020

Which does precisely that. I think after using the Lyman Brass Smith Powder drop, I'm returning it in favor the of the Deluxe Lee Powder measure after more research. The reference video below is what i'm aiming for.
