Topstrap, concerning weighing your charges, you're doing what a lot of competitors are doing...throwing a volumetrically measured charge rather than weighing. The key is finding a good powder that will measure well and having a good measure as you are aware of. Federal doesn't weigh their charges, they measure by volume, even for the FGM. If the AMU (Army Marksmanship Unit) is using FGM for their shortline loads, then that tells you something. Those that are weighing every charge are mainly doing it for the psychological reinforcement.
