Powder Measure and Digital Scale- That's the way its supposed to work

[DC_art]

I haven't been able to load for a few weeks now but I went out late this evening to finish a batch of 40 S&W with 5.8 gr of Power Pistol. Filled the LNL Powder measure about 1/3 full of powder, with the baffle. Tapped it several times to settle the powder and cycled about 10 loads through it. Then threw 5 loads in the pan and weighed it at 29.0 gr. Spot on for 5 loads! Then double checked the Chargemaster 1500 with check weights and they too were spot on, specifically the 5 gr weight. That's the way things are supposed to work!

It’s about time something went entirely right for a change!

Wait till you shoot them before thinking that way just yet!

Something's bound to go south before this story is over!

9mm,

Boy went to sleep last night and woke up hijacked!

How about a new thread next time?

Tightgroup tiger,

So when I my shirt is stuck to the back of the stool with sweat this summer, my powder measure should work well. That's comforting! I miss having a basement!

Congrats Art, sounds like your powder charge/weigh system is working well!

Sorry about that.

It was late and I thought I had started a new thread and didn't realize I was posting in an existing one.

I've moved my question and the attached responses to another thread

BTW:

I stole a response from Tightgroup tiger when I moved the posts. It reads:

DC_art,
The humidy is going up and the static is going down. I really hate reloading when it's really cold outside. The static inside is horrendous. My measures are running much better now also. I still have to use static guard once in a while here in North Carolina. Once it gets hot and humid outside I won't have any more problems.
