[QUOTE="WiscGunner, post: 1672880, member: 97288"] It is important to keep in mind the OCD powder measuring is sorta unnecessary unless unless you have done all other benchrest brass prep, weight sort, h2o fill, bullet weight sort, bullet dimension sort, etc. This is the entire reason we look for “nodes”. For instance, the reason I settled upon 41.5gr H4350 in my rifle is that 41.4 averaged 2788fps and 41.6 averaged 2788fps. Putting my charge weight in the middle means that if my charge is slightly light or slightly heavy, I will still have the same velocity. It is very easy to get side tracked in reloading. We have all been there. Try to focus on what is most important first and work your way down the list of diminishing returns until you satisfy your needs. Anything that goes bang would be fine for deer under 100yrds. PRS at 1000yrds ...try for .5-25” groups but focus on ES under 20. Shooting King of 2Mile...the little details matter more... ALL of them. You can easily test what is important to you. Load 10 virgin brass and 10 once fired...all else the same and compare. Neck turn 10 compared to 10 not neck turned. Etc. [/QUOTE]
