Using Longshot, my standard RCBS powder measure and it's just not consistent. I try to be even handed, hold it plumb and all, but: .1, .2 and sometimes .3 gr variance. Am I doing it wrong? Should I try something else?
Baffle? Please describe or provide links/pictures. There is no baffle.
Do you have it set up to dump on the upstroke? If so try turning it around so that it dumps on the down stroke ... much easier to get consistent motions with the down stroke ...
You say hold it plumb.? If you are holding the powder measure in your hand that is the problem. It needs to be mounted solid. And as already said you need to be consistent with how you move the handle. Setting it up to dump on the down stroke of the handle is good advice. That is how I do it. I thought I was the only one.Using Longshot, my standard RCBS powder measure and it's just not consistent. I try to be even handed, hold it plumb and all, but: .1, .2 and sometimes .3 gr variance.

The only problem is ... the Uniflow needs be set up where the dump is on the down stroke ... so unless you have an opening that the measure stem can pass ... you will have to set it sideways ...
