I like 231 because the min to max range is pretty high so if a min is 5.4 and the max is 6.2 if your dispenser is set at say 5.6 I am never off by more than.1 5.5-5.7. I am pleased with that result.

Not sure if I helped but I can not give an opinion, I am an American.
Of course it helped! Any information helps at this point... the more the better.

I've never used 231 but I know there are lots of people who swear by it. I guess the question is does it provide accurate drops with my Lee stuff?

Thanks!
