I have been using the Lyman 55 almost exclusively, (on the turret) it does the job well.
Yesterday just for my own edification, I set the old RCBS Uniflow w/small rotor up and w/baffle slid down all the way to the bottom and started to try and find a method of using it with the Unique to outperform the 55.
To my surprise…by double 'tapping' on the pickup (top) stroke 'lightly' so as to 'settle' the flakes in the hole of the metering area…that old Uniflow started throwing either 'perfect' 8.2 grain loads or 8.1 grain when it was throwing low.
The double tap on delivery was a bit more 'vigorous' as 3 times it delivered only a partial load into the pan (bridging?). It wasn't that the powder was not in the metering hole as it was. As soon as I saw the 1/2 looking charge I would tap that handle 'vigorously' and here came the rest of the charge.
I enjoy using Unique in the Colt .45 SAA but I just need to have more confidence in the metering process.
What are you guys doing?
