Hello again, Unclenick. What I have done is make up a powder charge/measure/click chart. This requires a very accurate & repeatable powder measure for safety..mine is a Harrell's Schuetzen. These loads were intended for cast-lead bullet shooting in an original Stevens 44 1/2 .25-20 S.S. Now with cast, if your using a sutiable powder, your accuracy will go out the window long before pressure issues surface. What I do is start out on the low end and using the micrometer adjustment, drop 10 charges at that setting. Weigh these, & divide by 10..this will give you a pretty accurate weight for that setting..if any doubt exists..do it again. work your way up, I usually try for .1 gr. increments. I stay short of any maximum loadings, both for safety & accuracy. This will only work for that lot of powder, another can requires careful re-checking. The benchrest guy's use this method at their matches, sometimes going up or down a few "clicks" depending on conditions...In fact, if asked, they will very often refer to a load as so many clicks.
