[QUOTE="venom600, post: 533610, member: 30515"] The level of precision that you care about should be measured (by you, not your scale) in percent, not grains (or tenths of grains, even). .1 grain is only 1/10% difference in my 300RUM (using a 96.5g charge) .1 grain is 2% difference in my .40 S&W (using a 4.7g charge) Whether or not that level of precision is necessary for *your* load is an exercise for the reader. But, just some food for thought.... --Ben P.S. Jeff, that picture is hilarious. My dad puts ear muffs on his lab when they're in the wood shop together. The lab doesn't care a bit......pretty funny to see him wandering around or laying in the shop with his big red shooting ear muffs on. :D [/QUOTE]
