I'm playing with Universal for the first time. I've been using a lyman #55 to measure bullseye and it meters extremely well. Since I've not had to go above 4.2gr, I've not had to use the large or medium opening -- just the top. I consistenly get 4.2 +- .1 gr max with every throw of Bullseye. Not so with unique. I need about 15 grains or so. I've tried opening the small screw all the way and that only gets me about 9gr. I tried opening up the middle screw about 1/2 inch and then adjusting to top one until I was getting my measure but it is usually +- 1 full grain and sometimes a little more. Should I open the middle and top so they stay together? What technique have you used to get more consistent with a #55 and the larger unique powder? I am tapping at the top and bottom of the stroke and that helps a bit but it's still pretty random.
