[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 665013, member: 10291"] When I was a kid 45 years ago I purchased a Lee Loader in 30-06 for 5.95. It came with a powder measure calibrated for IMR4064. Using 165gr Speer Spitzers I loaded for about 3 years with this kit. I produced consistent 1" groups in my Winchester Model 70 which was considered great back then, and better than the +2" groups I was getting from any factory ammo I tried. I then spent about $150 for scales, press, dyes, tumblers,etc,etc,etc. After all that, I still got 1" groups. The key to getting consistent charges with the dipper is consistency of technique, and what would today be referee to as being in the "sweet spot" of the ladder so the variations in charge weight didn't give major changes in POI. Of course I didn't know that back then. I also didnt shoot past 200 yards. [/QUOTE]
