Redding powder dump experiment

I have an old Redding #3??? powder dump. It has a 3/4" wide slot for the micrometer. I purchased the "pistol" micrometer to see if I could get throws of light charges of UNIQUE and BLUE DOT powders. All tests were 25 throws.
BTW- DOES ANYONE KNOW IF A POWDER BAFFLE WOULD SMOOTH THESE OUT A BIT?

Test #1 UNIQUE
11 THROWS @ 3.9GRS
8 THROWS @ 3.8GRS
5 THROWS @ 3.7GRS
1 THROW @ 4.0GRS

TEST#2 UNIQUE
5 THROWS @ 5.2GRS
10 THROW @ 5.1GRS
8 THROWS @ 5.0GRS
2 THROWS @ 4.9GRS

TEST#3-BLUE DOT
4 THROWS @ 4.9GRS
15 THROWS @ 5.0GRS
5 THROWS @ 5.1GRS
1 THROW @5.2GRS
