I agree 100%. Find a node and run with it. I have one node that is +/- 0.3gn. I literally just scoop and dribble powder until I'm in the node. Saves lots of time. ES is less than 20If your velocity node is fairly flat and SD small, then the accuracy variance of most digital scales will be inconsequential.
Here is the workup data on my node.

The ES was 11 on +/-0.4gn. If I do my part in prep and loading, the powder measure is extremely simple. I weigh it up with a plastic spoon on a Frankfort arsenal digital scale.
I understand this load wouldn't be considered for "long range" by most. However, it is an example of why I'm not overly anal about the charge weight.
