If you do an average of 100 or 1,00 then you could have several that are way (weigh) off.


As mentioned weighing out to 1/100th of grain is also meaningless

Especially with a SLOW powder like Long shot. 6.9 or 7 or 7.1 you will not know the difference.

Don't get hung up on stats, SD and all that stuff.

Drop a powder charge weigh it, pour into a case, repeat untill you know what is going on. LOOK into each case to ensure the charge is in there.


Before someone with no actual experience(with it) whines about the LPPM. It is actually VERY accurate and doesn't leak(I tested it long ago with many powders and recorded ever drop. With stick powders it was better than my RCBS. Uniflow.

In theory you're correct, but how likely is it that a powder measure would be that far off? Especially as you say the LPPM is very accurate.
