[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1118394, member: 90399"] [LEFT][U][B]This is going to throw a huge curve ball into everyone's methodologies, but interesting to think about none the less...[/B][/U] I remember watching a video from David Tubb where he says he doesn't even use a powder measure for long distance competitions unless he is shooting 1000 yards or more and using a charge weight of 65+ grains or more. Almost all of his rifle competition shooting, he just throws the powder for his reloads and does not even measure! He stated that people put way too much emphasis on the powder charge weights and not enough on the things that really make a difference in accuracy like consistent brass prep. To paraphrase; "Your primer pocket hole makes a larger difference in accuracy than your powder charge." He also said that as long as you find your rifle's accuracy node, that you could be up to 0.5gr off and still stack holes on top of each other! CRAZY! All of that said I still measure my powder to 0.1gr. I use a cheap Lee Powder measure set 0.5gr light, throw onto a Frankfort Arsenal digital scale, manual trickle the last bit. I double check every 5-10 rounds on a standard 505 RCBS beam scale. Goes quick when I get into the groove. [/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
