Ok so I finally got all my gear to start reloading my 300 win mag.
I have a hornayd lnl powder measure , Hornady single stage press and redding dies.

Everything was going smooth but when it came to measure the powder (68gr- H4831sc) it seemed that it was always off but alot. Some times I was taping the powder measure which I think that was part of the problem, but this made me very insecure and ended up measuring each load on the scale before pouring it in the case.

I have loaded .45 pistol before I didn't have this problem. every 20 rounds or so I was always rechecking the powder drop with the scale to make sure it was till accurate.

Can anyone shine some light into this. For this rifle I dont mind individually measuring each load but want to make sure nothing is defective.

Thanks
