I haven't found a powder measure YET that I like. They'll probably all do fine with ball or flake powder, but (JMO) you need a trickler and a scale if you're going to throw charges of extruded powder. My RCBS uniflow varies by as much as 0.3 grains with H4350 and Varget (my mainstay powders). That's significant.

I was able to knock that down a bit with the baffle, but when using the Uniflow, I nearly always throw short intentionally now and trickle the rest of the charge.

homers brother
EXACTLY!! Couldn't agree more. (That's why I used ball powders only and a Redding powder measure with a baffle for it).
