I agree with you, get close to 3 grains and forget it, the charge opening contour with the tight corners (ends) doesn't contibute much to accurate measures. Better then to go with the round charge holes in a disk, wish they had more disk sizes, rather than going with the double stack disks (which Iv'e never tried).
Even so, using the disks I vary in drop weights more than I want. Shot some at the range today, and when drops varied from 5.8 to 6.2 in a .40 SW you really get a surprise recoil every now and then!
So, the question for all you "expierenced" loaders, what is the answer or is this just the world of reloading in action?
Happy Easter All!
