[QUOTE="atepointer, post: 2805792, member: 126734"] Wondering if anyone has had an issue with one of these. The old Uniflow with the stock screw/bushing has been flawless forever, but I thought I'd get a micrometer screw to further add to simplicity when changing powders. This is a large drum/screw setup so I bought the large screw version micrometer and I've used the RCBS metal baffle in my hopper the last few years worked great. Oddest thing I'll get a couple in my range and then whoosh I'll get one throwing .5 high, then a few more on the nose then .5 low. So weird. Historically my ball powder has dropped insanely tight within a needle width or .04 of my desired charge. I eve had one throw 1.2g heavy which blew my mind....had to mesure on beam and digital just to make sure I wasn't going nuts. I've tried changing my tempo on the lever upstroke, downstroke you name it. Always keep hopper at least 1/2 full. Going cuckoo. I'm certain it's something stupid I'm doing, but not figuring it out yet. Cleaned the measure spotless and powder stored indoors a/c environment nor do I leave any in the hopper b/t sessions. To add insult to injury when I left it last night it was as close to 44.1 as I could get and this morning I'm dropping 43.4-ish + - .4g. I'm about ready to drop the old setup back into play and chalk this up to KISS. Thanks for the magic bullet fix I know someone here will get me on the right path. [/QUOTE]
