Thanks everyone for the responses. I think I will give the Uniflow a try.
Believe it or not I hand trickle each charge right now, even for "high volume" pistol, and this is getting tedious, and the measure here should help increase my throughput substantially since charging is the most time consuming step for me. I guess I should get a progressive one of these days.
A couple more questions are don't seem to be evident from the product descriptions. I believe the unit I need is this one, since I will want the ability to throw sub 5gr charges:

My biggest caliber is .308, and my charges for it are all in the 40's right now, so the 50gr max should be fine for me as well.
-Is there any additional measurement screw I will NEED? I can't really tell based on these two quotes from the product description that seem to contradict each other:
Found in the main description; may imply that this is included:
Numbered measuring screw is used for reference to find a given charge at a later date.
Further down; seems to imply that this is required and must be ordered separately:
Special Note:
•There are two Micrometer Adjustment Screws available for the RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure which are NOT included. The Micrometer Adjustment Screw that you need will depend on the size of the cylinder in the powder measure. This powder measure has the small 1/2" cylinder and uses item# 322221.
For reference:
•Large Micrometer Adjustment Screw (Item# 654-966) fits RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure with a measuring cylinder with a 11/16" diameter metering chamber. This is the Uniflow Powder Measure where the Metering screw is removed from the cylinder, up through the powder hopper.
•Small Micrometer Adjustment Screw (Item# 322-221) fits RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure with a measuring cylinder with a 1/2" diameter metering chamber. This is the Uniflow Powder Measure where the Metering screw is removed out through the threaded area of the cylinder.
And I think my last question... I see there is a baffle that can go in the hopper that is supposed to increase consistency; is this a worthy accessory?
