    My only comment id I find it pays to keep it half full, near the bottom it can start to get a little light.
    As others have said I only use mine if l'm doing >20-30 round at a time.

    Thats a really good tip, and what Ive seen over the years
    The loads are a lot more consistent if the powder volume (and weight in the hopper) is kept about the same

    This is the mod I made for my RCBS Uniflow. It helps prevent the difference you can get between totally full hopper and getting down.
    I just cadded up an elipse the right mid point diameter.
