When I switched to BH209, I bought a clear generic graduated powder tube. I developed my load of 100 gr. volume under a 250gr Barnes TEZ. I even killed a buck last weekend.
Well tonight I actually weighed my charge. What I thought was 100 gr by volume actually weighed 83.5 gr. (not 70 like a .7 conversion should weigh).
And when I actually weighed 70 gr by weight and poured that in my powder tube, it came up to just below the 90 graduation line.
This means I've actually been shooting almost 120 grains by volume, not 100 like I thought. Good thing I wasn't upping my charges!
I'll continue to weigh my charges, but what is the "best" and most accurate powder tube that's graduated for use with BH209?
