[QUOTE="Bruce Treloar, post: 2462860, member: 104002"] In a previous life my mate and I went to the range with a heavy gun benchrest rifle to check what variation in charge weight effected group size. The results are long gone but we were amazed to find average off the shelf powder throwers were sufficient for competition loading. The cartridge was a 222Rem with charge weights around 21 to 23 grains of powder so imagine the insignificant variation in a 60 grain load. I haven't used a trickler or check each load on a balance scale since and did manage to win a few comps. The trick is to use the thrower the same every time and get a definate click both end of the operation. Do check the height of the powder in the cases for uniformity just in case you have gone to sleep during the loading. [/QUOTE]
