I posted these a few years ago but I wanted to make sure all the links and pictures are still go so I'll redo the post.
I will go through as many of the list as I have time to this morning....
Modifications -
1) Improving the powder bars
2) Polishing the bottom of the powder measure
3) reaming out the powder drop cylinders
4) Securing the tool head, and floating the dies
1) Unique Tek makes a kit to replace the really course threaded screws on the powder charge bars, the kit costs ~59 bucks now, years ago it was a bit cheaper. The kit contains two each micro adjustments that really are very, very nice and lets you fine tune and even record and rest (find the setting again later)

3) Reaming and Polishing the powder funnels
Sometimes powder will form a bridge in the powder funnel that results in a one round being low on powder, unfortunately you catch it when the powder falls all over the place as you let the handle up or the next round gets way over filled and you notice it.
How to fix it - Buy a tapered reamer (or ask me if you can borrow mine) I used a 1/2" to 1/8" reamer - use it to ream out the short powder drop cone inside the die. Once you ream it out, you put emery cloth around the reamer and polish the heck out of it so it's smooth and slippery. ** Don't over ream the drop funnel, the bottom of the funnel has a ridge on it that has to contact the case mouth, if you ream that open the brass won't lift the powder assembly correctly.
4) Securing the tool head, and floating the tool head
- Slight mis-alignments in shell plate to the center of the die can be fixed by by locking down the tool head, and floating the dies.
Uniqteck has a kit to secure the tool head -
http://www.uniquetek.com/site/696296/product/T1230Personally I think that's a good thing - however i still like some float in my dies so I have a modification for that - but I'm out of time today so I'll post this another time.
