Given the much higher energy of smokeless powder, do you need to weigh each load carefully to ensure consistent velocity?
A. The more correct statement is that ALL powder charges must be measured carefully for consistent velocities; that holds true whether the propellant is smokeless or other blackpowder substitutes such as Pyrodex. Lee powder dippers are inherently safe, with a fixed capacity that is non-adjustable, and non-variable. Lee has sold millions of powder dippers over the last 44 years. Yet, Lee has had NOT ONE reported incident of an overcharge related accident in all this time. Lee powder dippers can be used to measure powder within 1/10th of a grain. See Modern Reloading, Second Edition by Richard Lee, pages 87-91, for a thorough discussion of this topic, with the facts to back it up.
