Switching powders with an RCBS Uniflow?

[dfraser]

Hi all,

I have forever been using a plastic Lee perfect powder for throwing powders, and I have actually taken for granted the ability to empty out and change powders super quick with it's removable hopper.

Well now I decided to "upgrade" with an RCBS uniflow, thought didn't even cross my mind about the ability to change out powders until this past weekend when I was loading up different calibres using 4 different powders.

Is there an easier, way faster method of emptying out the hopper and filling it with a different powder?

Regards

I turn it upside down and dump powder back into the can, using a large funnel. Seems fairly quick.

Ok, Just thought that it had a slightly better way than dismounting it from the mount everytime

I just remove the nut that holds the measure to the stand, remove the measure & empty the powder then reinstall the measure on it's stand. This takes me about 30 seconds.

I never fill it to begin with. I usually have an idea of what i want to load and am pretty good at eye balling how much I need. Usually not more than 5-10 rounds worth by the time I am done. I just work the lever with the powder can under the spout until empty. Doesn't usually take more than 5 to seconds, tops.
