The spreadsheet you get with the Auto Disc is a guidline to get you in the ballbark. You still need to weigh your charges. Several things can affect the weight/volume. IIRC there is even an allowable variation of 10% from the factory. So you'll want to recheck charge weight when you switch powder lots.

I wound up buying the adjustable charge bar. When you start getting into 2400 charges for .357 the spread from one cavity to the next is quite large.
