Hey Lew, I was thinking about how you meticulously weigh out your powder charges.
Have you ever ran a test to compare weighing them vs. using a volume measure? Just curious, as I currently don't have a scale that I could experiment with. I've decided I'll be getting one though, but mainly so I can weigh my arrows on it.
I had a thought for two tests. The first would be just pouring powder into a volume measure...carefully using the same method each time...and then weighing out the charges to see how much variation there is between them. The second would be to then shoot weighed out charges vs. volume measure charges and compare groups. I hear a lot that BP isn't picky as far as a couple grains go, so I was curious that if the first test showed quite a bit of variation between charges from a volume measure, then the second test may or may not show that it matters a whole lot on paper...
I know you've done a whole lot of playing around and testing, so was curious if you might've already done the above tests?
Of course anyone else that wants to "weigh in" on this is welcome to.
