David,
You stated that you weigh the charge to plus or minus 1 large kernel, you then mentioned that a kernel of 2208 weighs between 0.015 to 0.025 grns.
My point was that I doubt if a balance scale especially a Lee can weigh consistently to that accuracy, however, I stand to be corrected.
I think if you can weigh your loads to 0.1 grns then that is sufficent. Others may not agree. We must remember that you are using a Omark, not a benchrest quality rifle.
Having said that, Omarks can still shoot good scores, go out and enjoy it, don't get too tied up with being too pedantic about weighing projectiles, lapua cases etc.
Your time can be better spent, learning to read the wind and the mirage. Get yourself a wind meter, then go outside, set up a spotting scope, compare the mirage to the wind meter. Practice looking at the wind moving trees, grass etc, estimate the wind then check it with the meter.
Cheers
Danny

Hi Bob,
I won't be there unfortunately since I will be heavily involved with the ACT ISSF Pistol championships being run 16-18 Nov Mind you I may be able to get the rest of Friday off and visit the range prior to my first Pistol event that afternoon.

The one thing this forum lacks is notification that you have a PM (unless there is a setting somewhere I have failed to adjust) - good job you told me
