Greetings,

The baffle is to maintain a uniform charge weight regardless of how much powder is in the hopper.

RCBS and other manufacturers are placing them in their powder dispensers.

The Star powder delivery system is the most consistent I have ever used. I load a lot of 32 Wadcutter ammo and use charge weights of 1.4 - 1.9 grains of powder. They meter most accurately.

Cheers,

Dave
