[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 324213, member: 9215"] "I have read several times that some of the most accurate loads are made using volume measures. " I suspect you have been reading "bench rest" type articles. Those guys frequently use fine grained powders and very high grade dispensers so "some" of the time weighing doesn't matter to them, but they don't use Lee dippers either. At the ranges they shoot, 100 and 200 yards, a few tenths variation rarely matters but few of the rest of us accept that. Few of use would ever see any difference in a charge spread of .3-.4 grains at ranges under perhaps 300 yards. BUT, our powders are frequently much too coarse to be that consistant with simply dropping the charges so we usually weigh them. [/QUOTE]
