Steve from Brownells explains the difference between weighing and throwing powder charges for reloading. For high-volume practice loads, throwing charges with a powder measure is efficient, but weighing every 10th or 20th round is recommended to ensure consistency. For maximum pressure loads or precision shooting, especially with cartridges like the 300 Ultra Mag, weighing every single charge to within a tenth of a grain is crucial. For lower-pressure pistol rounds like 38 Special wadcutters, occasional weighing is sufficient to check powder measure adjustment.
