I use Power Pistol in the Pro Auto-Disk. I get charges that run either -0.1 to +0.2 or the other way around, don't remember without checking my notes, with most charges being right on. It is consistently in that range with any cavities I've used, charges from around 7.0gr to over 9.

A lot of the consistency is in the technique. Giving the press handle a "thump, thump, thump" on the charging stroke helps a lot.

You also can not just take sample after sample and get good throws. The powder (most any non-ball powder) needs vibration/motion to aid settling. This is yet another reason I like the Classic Turret, the powder is under constant motion.

Done right, Power Pistol meters pretty well.
