I haven't had much issue with Unique in a Uniflow. I haven't tried to be absolutely perfect either.

Hi,
Dem's wannabe dinosaurs, Jimbo!
Although evolution has added a jug or two of Universal to the shelf here, I'm still working on finishing that last mid-'70s keg of Unique first (at 5-8 gr a pop, those now extinct 15 pounders could last a while, ya know?) Lumbering back into the swamp now...

Can't argue with that. If you got it, burn it.Rick Courtright said:Jimbo357mag said:Dinosaurs have been using Universal for many years now. They all swear by it.

Thanks for all the really good responses and suggestions.
I've decided to just quit using Unique.
Without buying a new powder measure, I did get a baffle for my Uniflow measure and, again, tried it with Unique.
I found I got no better results with the baffle in place vs. without it.
I get excellent results with my Uniflow and my Lyman scale using almost any other powder. By excellent results, I mean that once I've set the measure to throw a specific weight of powder, it does just that with not over or under 0.1 grain variance. With Unique, it's just another story; too much bridging in the measure which ends up with variations in weight of + or - 0.2 to 0.4 grains variance almost every single throw; even WITH the baffle in place.
Trying to get good results with Unique is just futile for me at this point. It's just too big a headach when I have so many other powders to choose from that give excellent results.
