[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 324138, member: 20245"] John, I do have a powder trickler, and this is what I did to load my rounds for my ladder testing but I'm curious as to what gives better consistency, the same volume of powder or weight. Mikecr asked the exact question I wasn't able to formulate properly. What gives the least spread in velocity? The same weight or the same volume? If you can't have both. I have loaded 30 by volume at are at an average weight of 41.5grains each and I will load another 30 by weight of 41.5grains and see the average group sizes. The measure on my press is looking good since weight varies by no more than .1 grain and volume is the same charge to charge. Interesting stuff.. If anyone has done chronograph tests or knows someone who has please post the info or a link. Thanks, Oliver [/QUOTE]
