    What's a fine pistol powder but not as fine as AA#2?

    Talking powder texture of course.

    I thought about trying AA#2 but I read is leaks from a Lee Auto drum.

    Is there a similar powder that isnt quite so fine?

    I'm currently using 700x and it doesn't matter well but it's the only powder I've used so far.

    Uses: .25 acp,. 32 S&W Long, .44 Russian, 45 acp.

    what is a lee auto drum? some sort of powder measure?

    I've used accurate #2 and never had any 'leakage' problems?

    I looked up all 4 of the rounds you reload, Accurate #5 works in .32 S&W, .44 russian, and 45 auto.

    I've used #5 quite often and it works very well in my powder measure.

    W231 or HP38 would work

    Just use it and clean up the leaks.

    Edit: Some advice removed because I read Auto Disk initially not Auto Drum.

    Thank!

    I ordered some Titegroup. It was inexpensive and available. Primary calibers I'll be loading are .32 S&W Long, .25 acp, and .45 acp. I also have CFE Pistol which should be fine in the .45.

    I currently own and reload with no less than THREE Lee Classic Four Hole Turret presses that all use the Lee Auto Drum powder dispenser and HP38 and CFE223 meter VERY well consistently and accurately through it. I reload 9mm, 38/357 and 45acp all using HP-38 AKA W231
