While I've searched the phenomenon by measuring the actual amount of powder while the measure would vs wouldn't hang up on a ''grain''of powder,I was wondering if my findings are based on some wrong basis since the only fact that the difference was not accuratly detectable with a balance scaled to 1/10 of a grain.

I've pushed my test further(keep in mind that we're looking at handgun handloads being shot at between 20 to 35 yards)and I haven't found any difference between(hang up loads and no hang up loads at these distances.
I'm beginning to think that ''not easy to meter powders''are as good as ''easymeetering powders''.
Anybody tried anythng similar?
