Whirlwind06,
Based on your responses, your answers in context below:
I have been looking at either the uniflow, Lee perfect powder measure or the Lee auto disk. I'm using flake and ball powder. (unique and accurate #5 and 7) From reading other threads it seems that the perfect powder measure works best with stick powders. So my questions are:
1 will the perfect powder measure work with the powders I'm using?
For reloading pistol, particularly on the Lee turrets, I would not use the Perfect Powder Measure. It is designed to use with rifle (extruded) powders and there is no curret design to use it case activated on a Lee turret press. You would be much better going with a Lee Pro Auto Disk.
2 is the uniflow worth the extra $30 for pistol reloading?
No, not if you're going to use the Lee turret press, Lee dies (which have the capability of powder through case activated powder drop with the Lee Pro Auto Disk.
Right now I have a single stage press, but plan on getting Lee's Turret press pretty soon.
I would advise going with this setup:
1. Lee Classic Turret press
2. Lee Deluxe Pistol Die set
3. Lee Pro Auto Disk
4. Lee Safety Prime lg/sm kit
5. Lee Auto Disk Riser
You'll get better results with the list as described and have a better tiem doing it.
To use have case activated powder drop and case expansion with a Uniflow, you would need to buy a Hornady CAPD, an expander for the caliber and the Uniflow, about a hundred dollar setup vs. $36.00 for the Lee including the riser. The Lee Pro Auto Disk is a very accurate powder measure and works well for pistol, which is what it was designed for.
