I use Titegroup for my .357 and I had issues with the Lee Auto Load disk not always dropping the powder for the low .38SPL loads. I was getting multiple squibs which can be very dangerous.

In the end, I have just decided to only load .357 cases with heavier loads. I can get better consistency with hot loads and it also does not give you any build-up in the cylinder that the .38 shorter cases will. I had to heavily hone one of my cylinders because the previous owner shot a lot of .38SPL loads and when I fired .357 I could not get some of the cases to eject easily.

So, if you want to use Titegroup and you want to use your LEE (I have the same set-up), then you are going to have to hand measure each load. I am almost at the point where I want to hand measure everything anyways. A few squibs will do that to you.
