THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
My uncle gave me a RCBS Uniflo he had and I would like to clean up the insides since it feels like it isn't operating real smooth. Any tips or help with this??

its been a long time, but I've done mine a couple times. the first was because it was a display model that needed some TLC and the second was to install the micrometer adj. knob. Mine is an older model, but the hopper is a press fit into the cast body.....that can be a bitch, but the guts come apart easily.

Learned something new last week.

Go to RCBS Videos
Drop down to the NEW video, "Remove and Replace a UPM Hopper"

Didn't dream it was that easy to remove the hopper to clean or even "tune" the Uniflow! (dryflash3 style)

The 2 main things that will make the most difference in a PM is the baffle, and a coat of paste wax.

I have been told but haven't tried it, to remove the powder hopper on a Uniflo, just wiggle the hopper back and forth until it comes loose.

Great link GWhis. You are the RCBS guru around these parts.
