[QUOTE="Paulstarr, post: 2784872, member: 116871"] It,s a very debatable subject due to the variables involved but it's good to get charge weight as accurate as you can, same goes for neck tension.As other guy's have said it's not the B all and end all with regards to accuracy, temp and primers play a great part in the results.If you use 308 as an example and shoot Palma brass small rifle primers, you will be surprised at the greatly reduced ES they produce the reason being you need to use maybe half a grain of powder more to get the same velocity as you do with large rifle primers because of pressure LRP's produce which points to the fact that pressure LRP's produce is more erratic than the powder added using SRP,s to achieve similar velocities.There are lots of other reasons, just try to be as consistent as you can with everything you do when reloading. The big thing is if you shoot 600yds or less don't bother worrying too much about the above. [/QUOTE]
