What match are you talking about? The one in my photo is Creedmoor 800-900-1000 yards. Silhouette is 200-500 meters, midrange is 300-500-600 yards.

I usually weigh the charge then compared the volume to a previous lot. Lighter powder will require more by volume of course. Drop tube all my loads and some have a serious amount of compression to...

Interesting data,
Yet fails to address the differences in lot to lot bulk density, which can be considerable. The volume measure does in part address this somewhat.
Thank you for your efforts...

Wipe between shots, this problem becomes nonexistent.
It’s a simple fouling control issue, or one’s lack of.
The old dead guys of the Creedmoor era wiped between shots. You should too, a...

Measure the outside diameter of your loaded cartridge at the case mouth.
This will tell you much also measure the diameter of your bullet just ahead of the case mouth. If it’s over .450 you have...

Ahh the 50-140 the Sharps Cartridge that never was. Well not until after Sharps closed its doors in 1881.
Winchester introduced the US Market to 3.25 cases in the 45 and 50 calibers in 1885-86.
