I have never played with MLers before. I am in CO so loose powder is my option.
A friend gave me a few speed loaders with powder already in them. Out of curiosity I got my reloading scale out and measured their weights. They were running the range of 79.2 to 83.5 for what was suppose to be a 100 gr volume measure.
So I get out my brand new volume measure thing a ma jig and set it for 100 gr volume. I try 6 loads and weigh each one. I have a variance of 71 to 73.4.
As a total novice I ask, does not a consistent measures of powder matter for consistent shots with a ML?
Is there a way I can improve my consistency with a volume measure?
Should I just be weighing out my powder since I have the equipment for it?
I tried a search, but I guess I didn't use the right word combinations to come up with this topic that has probably been beaten in to the ground.
I appreciate your suggestions and knowledge.
