Good point on setting the UniFlow low and trickling up. However, I have not found the micrometer settings to be very repeatable. At least not to within 1/10 of a grain. Maybe I'm too fussy, but I'll throw 10-20 charges trying to dial in that last 1/10 of a grain. Particularly when loading pistol ammo (which I do a lot of.)

My notes on my Uniflow settings say things like "3/4 turns past 2 with the small arbor" or 4 less 1/2 turn on the large arbor." But that still won't get me to 1/10 grain.
