10-4... I'll make another 50 rds pushed to the deck! LOL...

I'll try 25 with 2.6-2.7grains and 25 with 2.8-3.0 grains.

Powder measure questions:
Is the RCBS 09069 a good powder measure scale for this?
I used my neighbors digital horandy scale but didn't know for future loading if the RCBS scale is good enough or if I should get a digital scale...???

Any thoughts.

In my opinion, a balance beam scale is better than a digital. Digital is for sorting bullets by weight or for getting your powder close. Balance beam is for getting it exact. I have both. I don't use the digital much. (I also have a digital scale in the kitchen and I *love* it. but I'm not measuring smokeless powder with it)
