Peter,

I used an RCBS Uniflow for Unique and noticed that a full powder column within the reservoir helped with consistent charges due to the light weight of the powder. This seemed to keep just the right pressure on the powder so that it flowed better.

A baffle at the bottom of the reservoir column keeps the pressure directly off the exiting charge gate opening. I made one out of sheet aluminum and positionedit by hand. I also used the return action of the dump handle as a "knocker" which helped the powder stay settled for the next charge.
