Hi,

I'm getting back into reloading and I have an old RCBS Uniflow Large Cylinder powder measure (#09001) that I probably bought in 1975.

Might anyone know of this measure, and if it's any good or not?

I cannot find anything about it on Google, and if it is considered a good, accurate measure, it will save me some money in not having to buy a new one.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

  As good as anything you can buy now.
  
  Some powder measures come with a micrometer adjuster, but that can be added to your powder measure as well. Makes things a little easier for the operator.

  The uniflow originally came with one drum but around 1980 or so they raised the price a little and added a smaller drum. I still use mine and it works as good or better than some of the newer ones do, as I believe the machining tolerances are tighter.I rarely use the large drum.

  Thank you both for the good info!
  
  I checked with Cabela's and they have an RCBS micrometer screw they say will fit my measure - so I will be buying it soon.
  
  Though the screw is expensive ($34 before shipping,) it will be better than buying an entirely new powder measure.
  
  So thanks again for the good info.
