My lovely wife opted to get me the RCBS Chargemaster combo scale/dispenser for my birthday last week. It's nice and seems to keep the powder flowing well, but I've noticed something odd with my charge weights.
The load I'm metering is 19.6gr of 2400. This is dispensed and weighed with the little breeze shield in place over the top of the platen and scale pan. When I open the breeze shield, the weight jumps to anywhere between 19.8 and 20.4gr.
This brings two questions to my mind:
1. Which weight is right? And...
2. Is the weight of the charge for the load I've worked up accurate since I weighed all the charges in open air when I developed them?
I've got 50 rounds that I'm waiting to crimp until I hear some feedback from you guys. No sense making those rounds any harder to pull...
