AB, Old School way I checked mine was to weigh several 130gr Nosler Partitions and make sure the scale read 130 grains. If so I figured it was GTG,

Way too easy, it'll never work

Bullet weight, even from high-quality factory loads, will have some variance (a surprising amount, actually). That's why the Benchrest folks weigh out each bullet on their $1,000 scales and separate them out by weight so each batch will have the exact same weight bullet. I know, I know, my OCD is showing, but while 1 to 3 grains of weight on a 130 grain bullet isn't going to amount to much, even .1 to .3 grains of powder in a high-pressure handgun round will have an impact on the velocity. In my sport, I live and die by the chronograph so I can't have any bullets running too slow. On the flip side, I don't want to fight more recoil than necessary to qualify. I'm looking for low extreme spread.
I understand OCD .

Repeatable is more important than being off 1/10 of a grain. Being able to duplicate your max load ever time is the most important thing. Lots of pistols prefer different loads so my max load is decided by the pistol it will be shot in. Thats my opinion at any rate.
