Did a lot of testing of weighed charges. Should have used the time for a productive purpose. Any small increase in accuracy with weighed charges was not worth the trouble.
In the 60s and 70s
i went to a lot of black powder shoots. Most contestants measured their powder with an open top measure. The measure was filled slightly over full and then "struck off" with a finger; no shaking, no tapping no nothing else.[/QUOTE]
Yep - totally agree... that is the same thing I found also. External atmospheric have a far greater effect than +/- a few grains of powder. BP and BP subs do not show the same pressure increase or decrease as does smokeless powders. since I was a re-loader for so many years it really rook me awhile to figure BP out.
