[QUOTE="Rardoin, post: 1953971, member: 114954"] 1-2 kernels difference will not stand out above the noise of other variables. My balance can resolve within fractions of a kernel/ my system can throw within +/- 1 kernel of final weight and I accept accept that weight and load it. I dont use tweezers to pick out a kernel/add a kernel. If my load is that squeamish I am not in a proper 'node' for my charge weight or I have the wrong powder. I shoot MR and LR F-class which is 600 and 1000yds respectively and aim for loads that are capable of at/under .5 MOA at those distances. The X ring is .5 MOA and I want to see at least 50% X count in my scores. I have found that having the right charge weight selected and the best seating depth for that bullet/barrel is the key to lowering ES and SD. I don't bother tumbling my brass/uniforming primer pocket/cleaning primer pockets any more as I did not find it helped my groups/ES/SD. However performing proper testing for a good charge weight that has a nice broad 'zone of precision' was the key to great loads. One or two kernels (or even more) does not matter if the charge/powder selection is right in my experience. [/QUOTE]
