With the Auto-Prime sometimes the dispensed charges are as much as 75% of what I'd set it up to drop.
A scoop and scale works the best for me, but it's really a PITA to have to so that separate step as compared to belling the case mouth and dispensing powder with a single stroke like I can with a less bulky powder like W231.
Then you get better equip for measuring bulkier powders. My RCBS Duo & Dillon will measure any of the pistol powders accurately but 800X, which pretty much has to be weighed. Dippers are always problematic trying to maintain 1/10gr accuracy, it's always technique. I think you guys are mistaking bulky for course. TG is fine, Red Dot or WST are bulky. Both have sim burn rates & charge weights to TG.
