Someone told me once they though a lot of the books went up to the last good load before they reached pressure. What you say makes perfect sense. The harder you ring a fork......
Are Mechanical powder measures fading in popularity?

I think there will be a place for them. For me, it will be for pistol loads and the Dillon 550 press. I was using the Redding for throwing powder charge along with an old beam scale, that was until I made a mistake and had to redo a lot of cf rounds. As you get older, it's a lot easier to foul up. That mistake could have caused serious problems and fortunately, those rounds didn't make it to the range.
I realized that it was time to have a better way to see what I was doing and to get rid of the beam scale. Autotrickler v3 has proven to be that better way. I'm not taking the chance of overcharging a round(s) by mistakenly placing a beam weight in the wrong notch. I can clearly see the amount of powder and it is a whole lot quicker. I no longer have to crouch down to see the beam scale and the powder charges are a lot more accurate. You sit, you charge, you move on to the next stage. One of the best investments that you can make.

Not for me. My Harrells powder throw works great with ball powers for times when I just want to go shooting. It’s 20 years old and still dead on. When I’m just plinking steel at close to mid range range with my 308 or 300 BLK it makes no difference.
my Redding 3BR is ridiculously consistent, no need to find solutions for non-existent problems IMO. I check the first half dozen and then 1 in 50 after I'm convinced I'm on
Don't sell your RCBS Balance Scales! Or your Dandy trickler that runs off of batteries. You ARE prepped with batteries, aren't you?
But I'm still trying to figure out the case prep without the big E.
OK, You've got my curiousity up. I like the Hornady digital, fine scale. But with the tare variation, do you compensate with charge variation, or put identical charges in? In which case, I'm lost again as to the accuracy gain. Would love to understand, ALWAYS looking for better accuracy and loads.
Thanks!

I use an rcbs powder thrower, direct to bullet neck. I find it easier to weight the case, tare it, charge the case and reweigh it and then seat bullet when its perfect. I either tap a grain or two out or use a lee dipper to add a few grains and get each one perfect. Im just cheap really, but i like being exact with it. This is accuracy for the poors lol.
Loading my 338 with 7977 its pretty rough thru the powder thrower, as opposed to h414 in my 243 that meters amazing. This just lets me keep each round exact without going from tray to tray to funnel ect.

What? Thought we just fill it with powder and then push the bullet in. Carefully. Be sure to wear goggles. Make sure insurance is up to date.
