Re: powder measure
wvlapua,
All the measures you mentioned are good ones, and any of them should give you good service. One trick that works well with very large charge weights is to set the measure at about half the desired charge weight and use two throws to bring it up to weight. Or three, for that matter. That said, most competitive shooters weigh charges for loads used at 600 yards and beyond. No problem using thrown charges at the shorter lines, but mid and long range loads are best weighed. The method of setting the scale a bit below the target weight and trickling the last few tenths is pretty much standard, and is probably the fastest and most efficient way to do this. But any of these measures will do a good job for you, so long as you're consistent in how you operate the throw. That's the key to <span style="text-decoration: underline">any </span>powder measure.
