Re: dillion reloading
If you use an extruded powder in any powder dump or progressive press, you need a small extruded powder (R-15, Varget). And even then it will still not meter 100% accurate. Like stated, ball powders will meter tons better than any extruded powder.

If you weighed ever charge after you throw it, I think you'll see a lot of variation. I'd be cautious using this powder from a progressive, because 1 round with a half charge, or an over charge from the previous case not dumping all the powder, and you've got bigger issues.
