[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1183380, member: 83267"] All powder throws are volume based that I am aware of. There is a certain skill or learning curve to running one well, but I feel it greatly speeds up my reloading process. There is even an argument that reloading by volume is more accurate than by weight, this I have no beta testing to confirm or deny but I do get good results with my powder throw. I spend a lot of time looking for the center of accuracy nodes be that threw OCW, Ladder, and chrony testing or some combination of the three. I do this to minamize accuracy changes because of slight diffrences in powder volume or weight, powder lot, temperature both ambient and barrel. What I don't want is a load that shoots one hole groups but if powder is changed .1gr up or down it opens up to 1" groups or POI moves at all. I like the OCW method because you can visual see the node as you progress up in charge weights this when combined with a chrony will very quickly show the nodes. The nice thing about low SD/ES chrony numbers are they completely remove the weakest link in the system me. [/QUOTE]
