[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2712319, member: 94491"] The problem with using volume to measure is the consistency part---- the little marking lines on the side of the bp volume measure aren't exact-- if 10 people set the measure I'd bet each would be a few 10ths off--- but the real issue is with how that measure is loaded with powder-- do you use a funnel? A dispenser? Any type of drop tube? Do you tap or shake the measure after loading? During loading? How many times do you tap it to settle/pack the powder --- if 10 people all loaded by volume-- I'd bet there would be 10 different weights when done. That's why I load bh209 by weight using a digital scale-- far less discrepancies/differences than by volume. If you are talking hit an elk at 100 yards-- then a few 10ths isn't going to matter-- but if you are talking about group size on paper or hunting drops at long range than consistency takes over [/QUOTE]
