Hornady!

I like just about everything that Hornady produces except their powder trickler. I honestly believe it's the worst one on the market.

Uniflow, but only because it's the only one I've ever used, not counting the Dillon measures on my SDB and RL550.

I'm the opposite.....I don't have an RCBS UNiflow....but do have a Hornady L&L.....it's a very good powder measure. I'm happy with mine.

A bit of caution....it comes heavily greased for rust protection. It must be cleaned before use.

A lack of experience with others tends to focus us on a single brand quite often.

Only effective difference between the two is the price.

Thats not fair, it's not a Hornady or RCBS.

"Butchloc" makes a good point in that, of all the reloading brands, they all have something that is the better than the rest so the ultimate reloading set up is going to be comprised of a mixture of brands.

I have both the RCBS Uniflow and two Hornady LnL. I sent one of the Lnl's back since it was too erratic. The one I have now is OK but it is not as accurate as the Uniflow, the LnL charges vary more than each step in their loading manual for my 7x57 for example. The LnL is much more convenient since you can LnL a preset charge and snap it in when you want to load that charge again. Nice.

I also have about 6 Dillon's and they work very well on their presses.

I prefer my fish raw, my meat extra rare, and P.E.T.A on the BBQ. Any questions?

I have a couple of Uniflows and 3 Hornady LnLs.

Ignoring the convenience of the quick change feature (because RCBS now also makes a similar powder measure which I haven't tried,) the construction and results are almost identical.

A very early Hornady (pre LnL) was awful and I got rid of it but the current ones are well built (in USA) and come with a powder baffle which I had to pay extra for in the RCBS.

Ozzie !
Are you sure that the” new” Hornady LnL has a powder baffle included in the price ? I had a LnL some years ago and it wasn’t included. Dumbest thing I did was to sell it because it works, and now I need a replacement.

ive got a couple of both and they both work fine. One may do a bit better with one powder then the other but switch powders and the other one will shine. Out of the two though i do prefer the hornady just because the quick change bushings are so handy.

Mine did. It was bought about a year ago.

Yep, I bought a new one just a few weeks ago and there was a powder baffle in the box.
Pleasant surprise because I wasn't expecting it and my other LnL measures bought years ago did not come with the baffles.
