I carry pre-weighed tubes also. But that's not exactly what I meant by #2 above.
What I meant was, using the .7 weight factor for BH209, is to weigh different volume charges (90, 100, 110, 120 by volume) by their weight. (63, 70, 77, & 84) and shoot them at the range to see what is the most accurate in your rifle with that particular projectile. A weighed charge is more consistent than a charge by volume but if you run short you can then throw a volume charge and be pretty close.
That is what I meant by following the same practice as a CF by filling several different cases of the same powder in different increments to tweak a load.
