I'm not saying dippers are bad! I'm just saying it's not a good idea to check your load before you cap off with a bullet! I use two scales to check loads. I really like AAno2 for 9mm. It does not take much to go way over max. And yah I'm one of those guys that like my loads to exact! When I'm loading my 308 I want 40.0grs of IMR 4895. Not 39.9 or 40.1. It does make a difference at long range. I know there other things that can influence accuracy but I know it's not my charge.

All it takes is 4 kernels of powder to change the the scale to read + or - a tenth with 4895.
