I have three of these Lee Perfect powder measures. The only one that leaks is the one that uses BL-C2, which is a small ball powder, and is mounted to a press.
I think it's a combination of a small powder and the way the press puts off-center pressure on the arm and opens a small gap (the whole thing is plastic) when dispensing powder.
Now, if you are ordering a press for a pistol caliber, you get the Autodisk powder measure, which is a completely different design and suffers from non of these problems.
