Boats,

Altho I don't use my Harrel Schuetzen measure for the powders you list I do use it for AA#9, and it throws 7.2 grs. for my. 25/20SS very consistently and for the. 32 MS & .32/40.

A friend just got one for his SS's and seems very happy with it.

Problem tho....... After trying unsucessfully to get one from Harrel ( lots of excuses) he finally decided to get it from Brownells/Sinclair who had them on hand. YMMV.

Pete my Harrells throws 10.2 of 4227 just fine too, something about the light bulky pistols powders it does not like.  Not sure which one I have one of the first ones does not list it anymore. It was his economy model anodized not polished no bearings on the rotor either.

Joe found the same thing with Unique, even worse with the current popular cast bullet pistol powder Hodgen Clays. Clays has about taken over from Bullseye with the shoot a lot guys.  None of the adjustable measures I use will throw Unique to my liking

However the fixed rotor measures like the out of production Bonanza and the current RCBS little dandy work better than most and if operated with a slow turn of the knob, acceptable for pistol work anyway.

Only thing is it's a pain not to be able to throw exactly what I want, have to live with whatever the fixed rotor throws. Probably not a problem 5.9 or 6.1 of Unique no real difference as long as the loads are consistent.  Other pain is for larger charges like the 8.4 Unique I am using in my 38/40 I throw double charges using the rotor that throws 4.2  

Good adjustable pistol measure would be worth having

I found powders like Unique etc... seem to work best thru the old lil'Dandy Pacific  or Hornady bushing type measurers.  The kicker would be to get the right bushings for the desired charge.

I have a medium size Harrell.  I think the problem is the measuring drum is too narrow and deep for best results with small charges of flake powders.  A sort of bridging effect results, with full charges and then light ones.  For maximum ease with flake type powders in small charges I think a better design is the Lyman #55, with a slide that allows a wide opening that is shallow.

I've been able to get the Harrell to deliver small charges if I rap the crank lever back a few times before dumping it so the powder packs as completely as possible.  Unless the number of raps is four or less, it becomes almost as time consuming as weighing the powder out.  I watch the powder as it falls through the clear tube, and also wind up check-weighing the charges more often than with my B&M, because I catch more variations with the Harrell.

It's great for small granule, ball or medium charges of stick powders though.

Will have to see how the small drum Harrells works.  It's not going to be worse than my old Harrells and probably be better.

Agree Unique is a severe test of a measure.
