[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1090717, member: 50867"] IMO you guys work too hard. I load the primed empty cases into a loading block and zero the scale. If it's a beam scale I dump in a short load, No powder splatters unless I drop it onto the pan from too much height or toss it in at an angle - I have never had that problem. Then I trickle in the rest and use the funnel to pour it into the empty primed case and move on to the next one. If I'm using my Chargemaster I set up the loading block, zero and set the scale for the load and proceed. Any excess (which is rare) I remove the pan and pick out granules with finger tips and adjust the load accordingly. Under weight loads get balanced using the trickle button. Funnel to pour into primed empty cases and I'm done. I do use the flashlight inspection procedure to make sure I didn't miss one. Most of my rifle loads fill or nearly fill the cases so if I made a mistake and dumped a load into a case that's already filled the excess charge would be obvious. [/QUOTE]
