I finally decided to make a baffle for my Lee Perfect Powder Measure –– got one done and it really does even out my throws of Varget, especially. I intended to make one like AeroE's but pop cans require a 10 cent deposit here in MI (and yes, I'm that cheap). I found something perfect and free (not exactly, but you get the idea). I used the cap from a prescription bottle –– about 2-1/8" across. I removed the soft plastic liner from inside, then cut out 4 sections of the short ridge in the inside of the lid (maybe unnecessary), then drilled 4 holes (3/8" each). Then I cleaned up the holes a bit with a round needle file and a knife. I put the lid in the measure (upside down), and filled it with powder. If you have that measure, you know that it's funnel-shaped at the bottom. This baffle rests perfectly at the top of that funnel and powder flows evenly down through the holes to the bottom of the measure. I'd guess about 250-400 or so grains of powder rest below the level of this baffle, so there's a light but consistent amount of downward pressure on the powder below it. Sure, a baffle shaped like the one above would look nicer, but this was fast, free, and easy (and it seems to work ok too). Thanks for the inspiration, AeroE!
