[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2784929, member: 120719"] I used to worry about small variances like that, but I no longer do. When trying different loads, I usually work up or down by 1 grn increments. I used to measure each charge, but now pretty well trust a thrower with a few QC measurements here and there. The thrower I currently use is an older model Lee that feels and was cheap, but it throws a very consistent charge. I've found that seating depth and neck concentricity are more impactful than .00 powder variances. As has been stated, I try to chase atmospheric consistency more than absolute accuracy. I should qualify my statements by including my use and expectauons. Use is long range shooting to 1k for fun and informal competition, and hunting to 600. Expectation is ~ 1 moa for 10 shots. Certainly, different uses will drive different procedures. [/QUOTE]
