Even though I only typically load 15-20 rounds at a time and hand trickle the last grain or so for my rifles, I do agree that the extruded powders are harder to use with any powder measure. I really like the H-4831 for several calibers though. So I finally managed to find a jug of 4831-sc. I haven't opened it up yet, but will do so as soon as I use up the rest of the regular 4831. I was told that the "SC" means "short cut". Supposedly it burns the same as the regular stuff but it is shorter to make it meter much better. Sounds good so I will try it. The H-4831 should work good in the .270.
