[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 906722, member: 39801"] I tend to agree.. I subscribe to the line of thinking where the more consistent you can be across the whole reloading process the better. BUT - you have to weigh it against practical limitations and diminishing returns. For example, .01 grain of powder represents 0.03% variance in total charge weight on a 30 grain charge. I am not in the powder business, but I would assume their in-lot QC release criteria for consistency (formula, burn rate, etc) is waaaaay wider than 0.3%. So you are measuring down to what I assume is well beyond the capability of the variance of the powder. It's akin to cutting wall studs to a thousandths of an inch - you can do it, but there is way more twist, warp, etc inherent in those boards than your precision cuts can account for. [/QUOTE]
