[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 2917610, member: 37460"] I can appreciate that thought but not really, “all of that”, is not really that much. I’m referring to the hand trickle part I mentioned. The purpose for me is to be more accurate down to the kernel of powder when throwing stick type powder or any powder for that matter. I’ll explain. I’ve taken Varget and numerous other stick powders and some powders will take 3,4,5 kernels to just move the scale from say 48 to 48.01. Just depends on the powder makeup/formula. For me I started really paying attention to this. I’ve watched my SDs go into single digits most of the time now by using a manual trickler. I trickle in powder ever so slightly and soon as it hits my desired charge weight I’m done. If 48 is my desired charge weight I set my RCBS for 47.7 and then trickle the final kernels. For me it’s made a difference for sure on lowering my SD’s. The little extra time for me is worth it. Know that if I was loading 223 or 308 to shoot in my ARs I could give a hoot. [/QUOTE]
