Auto Power Measure Syste
Quote from Reloader on March 14, 2014, 2:58 amI have had it with inconsistent powder drops from my RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure. How is the Auto Powder System for consistency in powder drops. Also, will it fit into my RCBS Turret Press. Reloading .243 and .308.
Can the unit be used as a stand alone tool.

Rifle stick powders like IMR4598, 4064, and 4198 will not meter consistently. I usually set it do drop a few grains less than desired and check each round with my beam scale and dribble to bring it up to the desired level. I do not load rifle calibers to the production speed of pistol rounds
I have achieved very good results with Hodgdon H335 for loading .223/5.56. The repeatability is superb but H335 is not stick powder.
