[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3976972, member: 15054"] A baffle can be made from cardboard and really helps. You need to put one in it. I have always had a beam scale and trust it 100% it is the 505. One other thing with pistol cases is Wall thickness and brand. For shooting tight groups I do not mix brands and i like to keep all of the cases with the same wall thickness together. 45 colt brass was the worst for dimensional changes between brands. I like my Lee dippers and I do really like the older Lee disc measure. It will drop bullseye powder right on the tenth every time. I just went and ran some W231 through it and it dropped 5.4 gr 4 times and then dropped 5.35 gr and then 2 more at 5.4 and I called it quits. I use the older Lee auto disc measure that is rectangular without the elastomer wiper. I did fine tune it though by polishing and enlarging the drop hole and filing down the aluminum platform that the hopper sits on so there is a very tight clearance between disc and hopper. NO powders between disc and hopper. I have an older RCBS uniflow and I polished it also and built a baffle and it worked way better. [/QUOTE]
