Zeke, not all powder measures are variable, and some of the ones that are variable are micrometer equipped to exactly determine the volume at any given setting. The Lee dippers and disks are factory calibrated in CCs and come with conversion charts for common powders. Shotshell reloaders use volumetric charge bars or bushings and often do not own scales. Mighty few sacred black shooters use anything but volumetric.

Those of us who load extensively with surplus powders very commonly establish burning rate volumetrically. Just set the measure to a charge known to be safe, and work up in half turn increments watching for pressure signs and chronographing as you go. Time enough to worry about the weight when the signs and velocity tell you to stop.
