Is there any chance producing precision ammunition H4831sc charges with a redding measure and good technique or do I need to buy a chargemaster? Ive produced solid half minute ammunition with thrown charges and H4350 in 6.5 x55. It shot better than me on the old F palma targets. Ditto for 6br with varget Its been a while since Ive participated in matches. I have two bluprinted 6 rems one with a Krieger four groove 8 and one with a 5r Bartlien 8 unfired in the safe I had spun a decade ago. I had them spun because the 6 br just wasnt enough horsepower when the wind kicked up so trying for horsepower to compensate for lack of skill. A 6.5 at 2900 has too much recoil for me. This is a recreational practice for me. I have a case of 1000 RP brass that I wish was Lapua. The time has come. Id just try thrown charges but dont want to burn barrel, powders and primers chasing a dead horse. I would like the forums opinion. Is throwing charges for 45+ grains of H4831sc just plain bad practice for precision ammunition? I remember these threads volume creates better accuracy then weighing but wonder if I believed that because it was convenient. Id like to hit the sporting rifle match and I will be lucky to score in the center of the pack with the skill level and equipment there That cuts two ways. No I will never be in the top third at SR so is thrown good enough? On the other hand I dont want to make decisions that make me noncompetitive. Me, the monkey on the trigger, will do a good enough job of that. Id like to try a bit harder data logs ecetera. Im not going to turn brass necks. Its probably a stupid question but to this point I have thrown charges using the best technique I can muster for consistency telling myself "some people think volume is better". Thank You for your responses.
