Does anyone throw their powder for their rifles?

[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 955927, member: 6452"] For long range loads where your velocity spread is the achilles heal I would absolutely suggest weighing every charge. I always do just because I'm anal about it. For short range paper punching it might not matter. As a test I once threw some charges without weighing them and went out and shot paper at 100 and I was still the limiting factor in the group size. I have a couple hundred rounds of 110 grain VMax loads in .308 that I consider my plinking loads. I had some BLC-2 that didn't really work out for what I was hoping to use it for so I used the meter to throw all those charges. For rapid fire and blowing up milk jugs at 300 yards they are perfectly fine. With reloading steel powders and shot charge for waterfowl hunting I have to load everything much like rifle loads. I picked up a digital scale for that purpose as weight 35 grains of powder followed by 500 plus grains of shot is impossible on a balance beam. [/QUOTE]
