Default T/C U-View Powder Measure vs. BH209 Powder Tubes

Ok...anyone run into the issue with the T/C U-View powder not measuring the same grains of BH209 as the BH209 powder tubes? If I put 90 gr. in the T/C measure, the BH209 powder tubes only measure the same amount at 80 gr. Which one is correct?

I use the Uview and have compared the volume measure to weight and the Uveiw is always dead on per my scales. I would go with the Uview, I have seen many complain about the BH209 tubes.

I also have checked my U-View against the balance scale I weigh my reloads with; my U-View and 4 or 5 others I accumulated over the years. My U-View is with in one grain all the time the way I use it. none of the others are that close, and the tubes are way off and vary considerable.
I have one measure that is so far off I use it to demonstrate why all measures should be checked against a scale, it is actually over 20 gr off. It is an Italian brand since we are not suppose to knock brands I won't say any more than that but it sure makes a point when we have a kids class.
Be careful, SAFTY is always the most important thing.

Thx for the input. I will only use the tubes as carriers of the powder load that has been measured with the U-View.

the bh209 tubes are known to throw charges a good 10gr +/- over what it should be.
