[QUOTE="ImBillT, post: 2785185, member: 117715"] Can you show where that’s been proven? I don't believe that 100 shots loaded to .02gr compared to 100 shots loaded to .1gr would show a statistically significant difference in SD/ES. I’ve had single digit SDs loading to +- .1gr over and over. The idea that going to .02gr is actually going to improve my results when I’m already getting results as good as anyone else claims doesn’t make any sense to me. By all means, if your scale is that accurate and will dispense it for you to that level of precision, I don’t know why you wouldn’t do it. For the person who is currently not able to weigh powder to that level of precision, I don’t believe it’s important and I’m not aware of any evidence that suggests you can tell the difference between .1gr and .02gr, even over a chronograph. I would like to know where the line actually is. Is it .2gr? .4gr? .15gr? I don’t know. I only know that I get good enough results at +- .1gr to suggest that getting any more precise is not going to make a noticeable difference. [/QUOTE]
