We're talking maybe a grain either way, but still... set low and trickle up.. Makes sense why my first lot was as accurate as a 12 guage pattern... Now i weigh every charge...

Agreed I never expect a thrower to throw an accurate charge only time I have had one dead on every throw was with ball powders when I had my 308 as it used to love win 748 under a 150gr when using the stick powders I use it throw the main charge then trickle up on the scales which I still have RCBS 510's are the ducks nuts when it comes to balance scales just love that micrometer adjustment for the small increments when working up a load.
