I'm a big fan of Unique powder. But I do find it measures inconsistently in my Lee Pro Auto-Disk measure.
I read the post about using a fish tank pump on the side of the measure to shake the powder. I don't want to buy anything and so I built my own solution with parts I found around the shop.
Using only the most modern materials and sophisticated assembly techniques I built the Tech Ninja "Blaster" powder measure stirring device.
It goes on the measure like this:
A view of the top:
An inside look:
The stirring rod goes in like this:
The rod does prevent closing the measure so the mixer has to be removed to close it.
That's a 3 rpm motor from an old space heater, a cap from a can of PB Blaster, a power cord from an old lamp and a piece of welding rod.
So how well does it work? I have only used it twice to load a hundred rounds. It seems to help but I think a little more testing is in order.
