The question is... can you tell a difference a) on the chronograph (with statistically significant sample sizes (n>30) or b) on the target (again, multiple decent sized strings to demonstrate that any one group isn't a fluke)? </div></div>
the answer is yes....folks that can drive a rifle with good ammo consistently win....it what the prometheous is all about </div></div>
Ah... still waiting for actual 'proof', not anecdotal evidence i.e. take known good load, shoot it thru known good gun, sample 'A' weighed with a regular loading scale, sample 'B' loaded with a milligram scale (like an AccuLab), and sample 'C' loaded with the Prometheus. Whatever sample size required to do a T-test with sufficient power to give a reasonable guarantee (95% or better) that the difference wasn't simply due to chance.
Folks that can drive a rifle with good ammo consistently win despite not using a Prometheus - partly due to they tend to just be better shooters, particularly on that given day.
I'm not saying they don't work; I'm not saying they don't help. Hell, I'd like to have one myself, if I wasn't so tapped out for other stuff already. I'm just saying 'Show me', hard proof, in numbers, that being able to resolve your load to the 1/4 kernel of powder makes a measurable difference. I've loaded an awful lot of ammo on a milligram scale over the last couple years, and I can't say for 100% certain that it makes a meaningful difference... and I'd like to think I do a decent job of pulling the trigger (though there are certainly far better shooters out there). I'm getting more and more convinced that if I *have* to weigh out a load to the milligram level... maybe I need to put a little more time-n-energy into tuning the load so it's not so damn fussy.
YMMV,
