New forum member here. New to reloading. I recently purchased a Lee Challenger kit. I'm loading Hodgdon H4350 in .243 ....
I loaded up 4 groups of 5 rounds. Each group is different by .2 grains. I went back to confirm my math. Measure twice cut once sort of thing. When I put a round of powder back on the scale they differed slightly. I'll say by 4 to 8 pellets of powder. Is H4350 somewhat difficult to meter.??
Here's what I think is going on.... If you're familiar with the Lee Perfect Powder Measure scale you need to "register" 3 white lines to set the desired amount of grains. Say I measure 40 grains in 5 loads. I then go on to measure the next 5 loads at 39.8 grains and so on... I complete my rounds then go back and weigh each group to confirm my math. Its never spot on at say 40 grains. I think its because the setting will never be exact to the original setting. The 3 lines are never perfectly lined up. Very close but never perfect.
I hope I'm not too wordy here. The fundamental question is does H4350 meter well.??
