[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2784907, member: 100742"] For me .1 of a grn is necessary and important. In 100 yard bench rest shooting my load needs to be exact , and .1 is an error you should not tolerate! Weather your load is 49.5 of something in your 6 BR or 67.3 grns of H 4831SC in your 270 Weatherby , then that is exactly what you need. Controlling this powder charge to an exact number , is just one part of making a load suitable for the highest degree of precision. Matched cases to an exact weight; Matched bullets to an exact weight, and Base of Bullet to Ogive length, and Base of Case to Ogive Length in a completed round, are other measurement that are also, in my opinion , necessary. Inside neck cleaning is important. Proper neck turning is another thing that MAY be necessary, in some cases. Put all together, these steps and measurements make the finished round more precise. Speaking for myself, every measurement is important, and if it makes your target loads more precise, then why not use the same care and concern in your hunting loads. Yes, a 1/10th of a grain is important,... to me . [/QUOTE]
