I will agree and disagree at the same time. Will the CM be accurate enough to produce accurate ammo- yes! Is the CM the BEST way to get true precise match ammo- NO! My load will change with .1 of a grain difference, higher and lower. I have seen it in the chrono numbers and the group size. So, I do believe the extra 3-4 kernels (.1 grain) of powder does come into play. The trick is to keep your scale dead nuts zeroed at all times. When mine varies by .02 or .04 grains, I'll re-zero, and keep loading.
Try this- after the CM throws a charge, drop a few kernels in the pan, and see what it does. It probably won't read those kernels. This is the difference I'm talking about. Plus, my CM will walk around some. After about 30 or 40 throws, it may start to creep up in charge weight. If you re-zero the CM scale, this will for sure change the throw weight from previous throws. I notice this when loading 500+ rounds at a time and checking it with the Accu-lab scale. All in all, the CM will still provide better consistancy for powder charges than ANY factory ammo. </div></div>
Wait! did you just agree and disagree with yourself? </div></div>
No, I just quoted myself again, showing that the CM was not the best way.
Rich, that's how I check the weight is by the negative amount when the pan is off. I know my pan weighs 151.94 grains. When it's different than this- I re zero.
