unique powder?

[scooter-2]

i would like to known how well unique powder will measure in my dillon 550 powder measure? i have read good and bad about it. i have only run win.231 through this measure. it does very well with 231. i know unique is hard to measure close. it will not measure close in some measures. by close i mean not over 2 tenths variation. i have 3 other measures, but i cannot set them up on the dillon to operate automatic. i have a uniflo, this thing will measure about any powder close. i could set it up to work on the dillon. i would have to run the measure manually. i am new to this forum, but i have been shooting, and reloading for a looong time. any comments helpful . by the way i have a lee classic turrent also a rock chucker also. scooter-2 from plainfield

For what caliber and how much are you wanting to reload?

I run Unique with my lyman #55 and it meters out to within +/- 0.1gr

If 231 works why switch? I only have unique bc the shops didn't have what I was looking for and wanted to get loading

I use both Unique and W231. I can get both to meter within less than a tenth of a grain using my trusty RCBS Uniflow.

I have no trouble with Unique in my Lee AutoDisk measure, or W231 or Ramshot Enforcer or Zip.
It works with every powder well in fact.

Unique is all I run in my 650s. Tolerances are acceptable! + / - .01 on a rare occasion Ill get a .02 gr

From my experience it metered fine through my 550. It was, however, a time consuming process to get it adjusted. It was a little erratic with each adjustment, but after the fine tuning it was consistent.

I use Unique in my .45 acp and .41 mag, a little dirty but nice.

I've had good results in my 550 powder measure. At first I didn't but it was because I had a screw loose but once I tightened it it would stay pretty consistent.

I run RCBS uniflow and Unique meters +/- .1 grs. I started out with a cheap Lee perfect powder measure, and it wouldn't consistently throw Unique at all.
