My brother is looking at getting a Lee Turret press and start reloading. I have a single-stage Lee. Powder goes from my measure, to my scale, then to the casing. With a turret or progressive press, once you've got the powder measure set up, there isn't a way to check each one, correct?
I find myself adding/subtracting just a little bit of powder on occasion. I was curious how much of a change in weight there might be if i didn't do that. I zero'd my Lee scale and added a "typical" amount of powder that I'd usually add. My TOTALLY un-scientific study revealed that the largest variance I've ever seen was 1/10th of a grain difference. And, that would have been an extreme (uncommon) situation.
If I hadn't checked them, would this variance be satisfactory? I don't go for max-loads so that's not an issue. I know there are a LOT of variables between powders and 1/10th-gr might barely be anything to some, but more of an issue with others.
For those guys loading thousands of rounds, how much of a variance is acceptible? Thanks for any insights!
