What is everybody’s process for throwing and weighing charges? Do you track how consistently your powder measure throws the same charge?
For my rifles, ive always used an old rcbs powder measure, that was with the used reloading stuff I bought when I started. My old method for throwing powder was to get it adjusted, then load 5-10 rounds, then weigh and readjust as needed. But it seemed like I was always readjusting and never getting good consistency from my powder measure. Accuracy was ok, but never great, for cast and jacketed rounds. Lately I have been setting the powder measure a little low, then weighing every load and bringing them up to the correct weight with a little extra powder from a spent casing. My group sizes have shrunk, and I have less variations in velocity. But it sure is time consuming. Is there a powder measure that is more consistent than others, or does everybody do the same thing I do? I wouldn’t think that wear would really affect it.
