Same volume of powder, different weight?

[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 324467, member: 19372"] I suspect it has to do with how packed the particular scoop happens to be. Using a volumetric measure, like my Redding BR3, I am very careful to use the same stroke so that the powder loads the same and packs the same in the measuring chamber. I suspect it is hard to be uniform with a scoop. Note that by pouring powder into a cartridge using a drop tube funnel it is possible to get more in the same volume. this is the same "packing" phenomena I'm talking about. If you have some ball powder like AA2460, you might do your experiment with that powder scraped level in the scoop. I think it will be more consistant than some of the big stick powders like IMR4350, but still not perfect. Fitch [/QUOTE]
