I was wandering if the use of a powder baffle really makes much difference in the consistency of the charge from first to last thrown? I have an older Hornady with out a baffle. It does not seem like I have too much deviation. Any thoughts?

I cannot speak to direct observation of the negative effects, but pretty much anywhere you read, it says the powder baffle is useful and should be employed. I would expect that you can get one for your powder drop for minimal cost. Or you can make one.

Yes I thought I would make one. I reload 223 and 9mm mostly for quantity and tactical style training. No extremely long range and/or bullseye stuff. And I am using the Lee 30the anniversary powder scales. I do not load near the upper limits so I don't think I would ever notice the difference in having or not having a baffle . But if I should have one then have one I will.

It's rather a toss up. My Uniflow doesn't have one. It came from the factory that way. If anyone out there knows Reloading it's RCBS. If a baffle was needed, they'd've put one in. Then adjusted the price accordingly.
Interestingly enough my Dillon measure does in fact have one. But because of the small movements of the measure I can see where the powder would tend to settle. Hence the need for the anti settling baffle.

I have only noticed a difference with using flake type powder. With an extruded or ball powder I could not tell a difference.

I can see where the different types of mechanisms in different throwers could make a difference and especially the type of powder. I for the most part stick to the ball and extruded types. No reason, just seems to be the powders that I have found work good for me in my calibers. Thanks guys!
I had an experienced reloader tell me he uses Titegroup for loading his 223. Any experiences with this?

CORRECTION: I indicated that he uses Titegroup for the 223. My typo. It was for the 9.. haha. I have heard of using Blue dot in rifles before but I don't know about Titegroup> haha |
