I reload for .380 Auto, .40 S&W, .204 Ruger, and .243. I haven't loaded any real volumes yet as I measure each charge on a RCBS 5-0-5 beam scale. I wouldn't mind getting a powder thrower if they were reliable from charge to charge.

I assume charge consistancy could be influenced by the granular size but are they reasonably consistant and is one brand better than the other? I don't bench shoot other than sighting in or finding a good load, so I'm not wanting to cough up a small fortune for my limited amount of reloading. Any help would be appreciated.
