I was thinking today. Am I going to have to take the Uniflow apart ever couple of weeks to check on this corrosion? My answer to myself was, no. I am going to order a new RCBS Chargemaster 1500 and never look back. There is no cast metal inside a chargemaster. When I get the replacement parts from RCBS, I will sell it on Gunbroker as 'like new.' Problem solved.
Buy the Chargemaster if you want but I would keep the Uniflow. Who am I to recommend not buying another powder measure as I have 11 different powder measures including a Pact electronic. I also have two Uniflows, 34 and 2 years old.
Except for changing the metering cavity, I never disassemble my powder measures.
The Pact is the only powder measure that I have that has required replacement parts, the scale quit. Not a cheap repair.
Current manufacture RCBS Chargemasters may be ore robust than my aging Pact, but the load cell in the scale is still a definite weak point. Not to mention buttons wearing out due to repeated use.
I find the electronic powder measures are too slow for me. The electronic is useful for working up loads as it is quick to re-adjust to a new charge, just punch a few buttons. But of late, I have been using a Harrell Precision Custom 90 with its click adjustment in the metering cavity when adjusting powder for new loads.
Casting sand is not corrosion, it is a result of poor manufacturing. It is a rarity as both THR members and RCBS rarely, if ever, have seen the problem.
When you get the new parts or measure from RCBS, look inside and it will be pristine.
Don't worry, be happy.
