RE: Loose Powder?
ORIGINAL: rick_reno I'm wondering how accurate we have to be with the powder? Does a few grains more or less make a big difference? IMO for ML's and Black Powder or Synthetics, 5gr increment is about as precise as needed for most target and hunting load development for 45 cal and larger rifles. That said, I sometimes use a combination of a 5gr and a single gr measure for inbetween charges. Match shooters typically develop to the single grain load. A 10gr increment measure is not precise enough in my view. For pistol, a single grain measure is mandatory in my view. |
RE: Loose Powder?
ORIGINAL: rick_reno That's the same powder measure I use. When filling it, do you fill it right to the top and then when sliding the pour spout over some falls out? I'm wondering how accurate we have to be with the powder? Does a few grains more or less make a big difference? |
RE: Loose Powder?
You got it right. Fill the measure, tap the measure to settle the load, then sliding the spout closed knocks off the excess. Tapping the measure as you fill it will help with the consistency of the load.
