Recently I started reloading 223, and I used scoops.
I only shot one group, because I didn't have a spotting scope and it was too hot to check the paper. But the rocks were having a bad day! When I finally checked my 5 shot group, I was pleasantly surprised. The distance was 60 yards. The target was a plain pistol IDPA/silhouette target, and I was using a 1.5x optic. I just aimed for the center of the head. 4 shots could be covered by a quarter. The one high shot brought the group to about 1 1/4".
I fired over 200 rounds of reloaded ammo and I had no problems.
Anyone else using scoops for rifle? I've heard some bench rest shooters measure by volume. I assume that means a powder dispenser. But compared to a scoop, what's the difference?
