I guess I don't have enough to do today, so I decided to run a "Boyd Allen" type of test. (Sorry, Boyd, I just could not help myself.) I own three powder measures ("dumps"). They are two converted HenslerLyman 55's and a Harrell (120 grain model). I used N133 (09) for each of these. I threw 10 charges with each and weighed them on a Dillon Determinator electronic scale. I tried to follow my protocol at at match in that I dumped any charge that did not "feel" right back into the hopper. My results are as follows: Hensler #1- 29.9, 29.8, 30.0, 30.0, 30.1, 30.1, 30.0, 30.0, 30.0, 29.9.
HENSLER #2 -30.0, 30.0, 30.1, 30.1, 30.1, 30.0, 30.0, 30.1, 30.0, 30.0.
Harrell 29.2, 29.1, 29.0, 29.2, 29.0, 29.0, 29.0, 29.0, 29.0, 29.1
The Two Henslers were set at 9.5 on their scale, and the Harrell was at 54.0 clicks.
I plan to use the Hensler #2 at the Super Shoot and not worry about the tenth or two variation in powder weight. Am I wrong for this trust?
