I never thought a manual throw was accurate enough to not warrant weighing every charge.


In recent years the Federal Premium ammo has got so good, that I don't reload any more.
When I reloaded hunting ammo, that's how I did it too. My 7mm mag load was 65 grains of IMR 4350 under a 150 grain ballistic tip; that was a smoking load; never had a deer take more than one step.
