Weighing isn't necessary at all. what i do is take a shoe box with me to the range and pour over that. when i am done i just pour the excess back into the bottle.i only do this with BH 209, since it is on the expensive side.. Ray

I weigh all my loads with BH209. Not sure its necessary just a step I take to try and eliminate another variable. If Im not getting good groups its not because of an inconsistency in powder.

$45. for a jug is way high. Where are you buying yours? Last jug I bought was from Bass Pro and I paid only $29.

As of now I am only using it in my Knight Vision and NEF Sidekick.

Don't forget I'm in Canada... everything firearm related here, is expensive.

I get mine at a small gun shop. Sometimes I can get it for $42.00. Bass Pro in Canada I'm looking at $55.00. Even Cabela's is $60.00 plus shipping and Haz. fee!

That is really one of the best ways and its fast to get a reasonably close measurement. BH209 meters very well, just like other smokeless powders with a similar shape and size. No "special" black powder addons are needed for BH209 to be completely safe with the Redding. REAL black powder and most subs need brass or other addons to reduce static that could be extremely dangerous but BH209 is a different animal.

If you already reload centerfires...its a "gimme" and actual weight variations are very small. IMO they are even good enough for most smokeless applications too unless you strive for "benchrest" tolerances or you are pushing the limits of a safe load.

Semi, a FLIER is like a (BRAIN FART) you never know when it will occur.

I suspect most flyers are caused by the shooter and not the powder Ray

Not Me! It is always the guns fault or the scope, or the sight, or the rest... NOT THE SHOOTER!

Caused by barrel heat and or inconsistent seating pressure.

Barrel heat normally screws me over at least one shot out of 5
