    ES is not solely reliant on an accurate charge weight, but it is a good start.

    I rarely shoot the 223 or K Hornet at ranges that I would even worry about a half grain fluctuation. But I never have that issue as it never throws a charge more than .1 out with any powders I have used.
    I get a bigger ES than that out of my .300 RUM using my beam scales, I meticulously weigh every charge!
