Your powder thrower should sycle 748 pretty consistantly. The trick is to use the same technique every time. Such as after cycling, lift the handle slightly and tap it down. This lets the powder settle in the charging drum.
That being said, I normally weigh each charge too. But with you charging 10 cases and checking your weight you shouldn't have a problem provided you dump the previous ten back into the hopper if your weight is off when you check. Even if the weight is OK, a visual inspection of the filled cases SHOULD be made before seating a bullet.
