I've made up a couple of pounds now, and have been pleased with the results, but I'm kinda curious about one thing. The stuff don't flow through measures, funnels and other stuff worth a flip. The commercial stuff has a graphite coating to improve flow. How would a feller go about doing this graphite coating?

It's not the graphite so much as the density of the commercial powder. Each little piece weighs more so it seems to flow better.
For me I only have problems in my powder measures if my powder isn't a consistent size. Try to make sure your around 2F or so and have no large pieces that'll clog the flow.
If I'm really going to shoot alot, I just keep a shallow container with a pound or so of the powder and use a lee scoop to load the powder. It's so fast that way. I don't even measure the homemade powder, just fill the cylinder. It'll compact enough to fit a felt wad and ball and give you a great load that's very accurate too.

I have it fairly uniform, probably between FFg and FFFg. It just seems to clump when I don't want it to. After wet screening and drying, I run it through a flour sifter, and that works pretty good.

I haven't had time to chronograph some .44-40 I loaded the other day, but I used a 2.5 Lee dipper, a 3/16ths beeswax lube cookie and seated a 200 grain bullet. Then with one cartridge I loaded 2.5cc, compressed it with a dowel rod, filled the case to the top again and then seated the bullet.
Maybe this week-end. By the way that cartridge will be shot from my Rossi '92, not an Uberti SAA. The Rossi's will handle a .454Casull, I don't think I'm in much danger. I'll let y'all know what happens.
