Just got back from the range, testing those 9mm rounds I made yesterday. They shoot really well, more consistent than the PMC I've been shooting lately. Burned pretty cleanly too.

I'm using the Lee Auto-Disk powder measure, and it is throwing the correct amount of powder pretty reliably, within 0.1 grain.

Off to do up some more...

I don't know how long you have been a "chemist used to weighing stuff", but reading a vernier seems to be a lost art. If you know how, the Lee scale is as accurate as any balance beam on the market
Actually, I'm a pharmacist by training (30+ years ago), and now teaching chemistry to advanced high school kids because it's way more fun. I guess I just don't have the patience to mess around with any technology when something that's easier to use exists, to be honest. I don't doubt the accuracy of the Lee scale, but it's not user friendly... I'd rather use a Vernier or a Mettler
