Thread: Acceptable variation in powder charge

Good interesting thread, I have "like" a lot of these comments.
I've only been reloading for the last year and on pulling some factor loads, was surprised at the variation in powder charge.
I'm only loading 22 Hornet 10.2grn & 222 Remington, both with ADI AR2207 which is cylindrical. So small variations represent BIG percentages, which I find unacceptable.
I all could not get the hang of setting up, and getting consistent loads out of either of the two Lyman powder throwers, which are now back in the boxes and which I will never use. They are for sale, the add reads, "Lyman Powder Thrower for sale. Easy to set up and use. Throws a perfectly accurate charge cover time. Especially well suited to cylindrical powder!" Cough, cough, hmmmm?
I decant my powder into a tiny glass jar, then spoon it into the scale dish with a tiny stainless steel spice spoon, aiming for 10grn, then trickle the .2. It's fricken SLOW, but consistently accurate. I'm happy with accuracy over time.
I take some encouragement from reading that other forum members are doing the same.
