I use the RBCS trickler NO explosion or excitement with hand tools

Oh jeez, here we go again. Yes, manual tricklers are safe (and so are digital scales). Question is, why not just measure by volume?……….

Asking question, here or elsewhere, is the safest component of muzzleloading there is.

I’m not sure I comprehend some of that post, but I measure some subs occasionally and of course smokeless. I’m willing to bet most guys will see no difference in accuracy (dispersion) by weighing their black powder (or subs for that matter) unless they are very inconsistent in the way they volume measure! Waste of time.

Important too is not giving bad info on weighting vs volume ,I see you like me and most interested in the best accuracy hunting or target weight not volume . Volume is for a quik 2nd shot when you didn't weight the 1st ! ED

Because Mass has a relationship with Energy?
Besides, Avogadro's Number makes me moist.

My Redding stays on the shelf, now. I have the V3 and V4 on my FX 120i scales. {Not My Pic of the V3}
