There is nothing wrong with measuring black powder by weight using a scale as long as you use real black powder.

The reason you see the warnings about measuring by volume and not weight is that most black powder substitutes are quite a bit less dense than real black powder and the listed loads are understood to be by volume, not by weight. If you weigh Pyrodex instead of measuring it by volume, you will get a serious overload.
