[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2786269, member: 116439"] DT throws his charge weights for 600 yd BR competition and look at all the wins he has! Personally we weigh every time to the most precise load. First used a Tri Beam, then a RCBS 1500 for the charge then on a Gem Pro and Dandy Trickler. Now a V-4 and A&d FX 120i. It all started with Brass Prep, powder weight, bullet seating. Spend a lot of time and energy just to construct one cartridge. BUT most of our rifles shoot same hole. Like working constructing cartridges in the reloading room. Great hobby and keeps me happy and sane! If you are into competition the group size matters at 1K. If you are hunting you do have a bigger area for the bullet to hit. Loading to 0.10 of a gr is better than 01.0 gr. Weighing to 0.01gr is getting extreme then everything else matters (sort every component by weight & size) and you have to know the volume of each case (makes a difference for sure) then the bullet weight, measure the ogive of the bullet, seating depth, neck tension, ect. Unless you watch a lot of TV with the "Shooter" "Accountant" and plan on shooting 2 miles to hit a Cantaloupe (or can of Campbells Soup). just try to stick with 0.1 grs for a consistent load.
