[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 833954, member: 376"] The point blank BR guys I shoot with (Hunter/VFS BR @ 100/200/300) barely know where their scale is :rolleyes: as they throw *everything* (1) and most long-range BR guys weigh *everything* to the nth degree. I've never heard/seen anyone from either group, that only checks weights 'every 5-10'. Maybe its a locale-specific thing...? In the past I've used N150, which has several different sizes of kernels, with different weights (but often the longer ones weigh almost nothing, while the shorter ones are usually heavier!). If I'm weighing out to a point where that matters i.e. with a really good milligram scale, this becomes noticeable. For a 'normal' reloading scale... don't worry about it and rock on. :D (1) While thats 99% true, there is a small group of point-blank BR guys that weigh charges - generally they either pre-load (load all their rounds at home on a proper scale) or else dispense weigh charges at home and then store them in test-tubes or similar vials to dump into the cases at the range.
