[QUOTE="meatyrem, post: 732986, member: 26633"] I apologize for that post as I did kind of think it may cause alarm until after I posted it. I was meaning 115gr volume that is weighed for consistency. I do weigh it at 80.5gr and have now since I found that from charge to charge it can vary quite a bit when measuring by volume and pretty much always weigh my charges out (when I can) and also get real tired o the powder clinging to the powder measure which is another reason I weigh it. Your other point, which I plan to remedy, is with the ramrod as I have to keep switching the jags around (time consuming) and this gets old so ill be looking to solve that too. I happen to be very particular when I shoot and I tend to be very picky when it comes to how well my gun shoots. Most people I know that I talk to about this with say " oh your fine with how it shoots and well within kill zone on a deer". But I'm not happy with that. This brings me to my next point about seating pressure and with tmz's being very difficult to load I think I am getting very inconsistent loading pressures and I am interested in finding one of those gages you mentioned earlier. Where can I find one of those? It is just too bad that certain things have to change when they are going good cuz when I was using those 200gr shockwaves and 120gr (volume) blackhorn I was never happier cuz I though it was very odd to get 1/2" performance from a front stuffer. Maybe I'll try different sabots with those shockwaves again. [/QUOTE]
