I have really nice older RCBS Uniflow that came with a large and small cylinders. I do not use it much as I mostly load handguns on the LCT with Pro Auto disc.
I also do not use much stick or extruded powder.
Loading some 308 Win with IMR 4064 and the darn thing really jams up on those little sticks. I thought maybe because it was close to the max of the small cylinder, I took it apart and installed the large one. It is perhaps a little better but still jams and really have to yank the handle to break the stick that is jammed.
Then weighing each drop, it will of course vary when this happens.
The measure is extremely accurate with ball or even flake powder.
Is it me or is this just the nature of stick powder? I can't imagine a different brand measure would be any better. They all work pretty much the same way.
Or is it time to find a ball powder?
