[QUOTE="TeleStratMan, post: 3274773, member: 44716"] I have yet to find a powder measure that will drop 10 drops that are all EXACTLY the same Regardless of the powder. That is why I make drops that are about .3-.5 grains short of my target load and then use a trickler to complete the drop.I weigh every drop and also weigh each bullet. In a box of 100 bullets I usually find about 10 -15 bullets that weigh as much as .8 grains difference from the stated weight on the box. That also will hurt accuracy. [Example 143 grain ELD-X 6.5 I will find a spread of 142.5-143.3 ] I cull the bullets and save them for a different batch of loads. [/QUOTE]
