If by chance you use 4831 powder..........
Hodgdon has some "Short cut" that is smaller in size and tends to meter better through a powder thrower.
I don't care about metering, I just dump, trickle and dump into a case, no matter how long it takes me.
I use any powder and am just glad that I have it.
For 20 years I just loaded for best "Groups" at 100 yards with the different type of powders and primers that I had........
staying under the maximum loads in my manuals.
As I got older, I learned that a 90% load killed a deer just as quick as a full load "Teeth Chattering" 100% maximum load that had all the recoil that you could get.
A chrony is not mandatory but it can add extra data, for you.
You might also check the rifles bedding and the odds and ends while you are at it.
Good shooting.
