So when the Sharps Rifle Co. said around 1880, "For fine shooting, powder should be weighed on a scale." they were wrong?

I don't worry about static electricity on a plastic measure igniting powder, they ship even black powder in plastic cans now.

But static cling is a great annoyance. My BP measure is a Redding with a metal hopper... double base smokeless destroyed the cheap acrylic factory hopper anyhow. And my plastic PACT scale pan is coated with graphite mold release.
