Typically it's the moderate charges that shoot the best anyhow.

Optimizing by weight is fine if first weighed by volume. Every powder measure volume throw is slightly different no matter how much you try to measure the same. Not that I think it really makes that much difference if any at all. What a couple of grains?

Nevertheless, as if I had nothing else to fiddle around with...

This year I am going to start tinkering with a new digital scale that Santa brought meto consistant optimizemy already measured volume loads.

Something else to fiddle with. I find that I typically throw about 1-3 grains difference by volume when verified by the scale. Which honestly does not makethat much difference in 50 caliber and even less in 54 or 58.

But it's something else for me to fiddle with. Then you will be seeing post loads such as 93 grains and such!

Optimizing volume loads by scale might be of benefit in the smaller calibers of say .45 on down to .32. I have a new .36 cal pistol that I think the scale will really shine out the best loads.

Well see!
