Witchcraft!!!

No. That is automotive electricity.

to clarify, Automotive Electricity is Witchcraft, and I have proven this positive to myself multiple times.

I will not be diswayed.

Only if you have owned a Dodge, currently Fiat!

Got some more of my .308 target loads done. I have been doing about 50 rounds a day. I have about 300 round packed away in the normal boxes that are easy to use now I am putting the rest into bulk storage.

Since I never know where my reloads will end up, such as a magazine or loose box of misc ammo, long ago I started marking my primers. The color of the primer is recorded in my load book for easy reference.

Here is 250 rounds of LC 87 brass loaded with WC846 and topped off with a 168gr Combine Technologies bullet. For bulk they get packed into cardboard boxes that originally held 100 round belts of 7.62 and 2 of those boxes fit in a .30 caliber can. Since the ammo is loose packed and staggered I get 150rd per box but for this packing I only put 125rds per box because I am expecting to have 500rds to store this way.

For those perhaps "not in the know", the Ohaus 304 actually operates on energy from a very mysterious force that is not propelled by outside fuel sources such as electricity, but rather from an energy source that some believe may be centered in the core of the earth as it rotates in space.

Gravity.

Look into it.

Does that mean it works better/faster at sea level than in the mountains?

It really depends on YOU and how much you want to put into it. I'd suggest, if your life depends on those rounds then maybe put the time/effort into making them as accurate as possible. If you're out to just have some fun and if the occasional potential miss isn't that big of a life changer for you then spend the saved time doing something else. I think there are several people that reload on a progressive press where the powder is dropped and it works plenty good for them. I recently moved into the progressive loading realm (started with the Dillon Square Deal B which after seeing how much quicker it was to reload 700 rounds of 9mm, moved me into a 650 for rifle rounds) from a turret press and have saved countless hours standing at the reloading bench doing automatic measured charges. It might stand to reason that a slight powder difference would be more noticeable in a smaller case (such as .223) versus .308 based on case capacity comparison.

As @Spitpatch mentioned, I think the chronograph SD value would be the indicator of how much difference there would be between 10 rounds loaded each way.

I've always weighed my rifle loads and thrown my pistol loads after first weighing them for consistency. I now have an RCBS Chargemaster Supreme! It automatically weighs each charge almost as fast as I can pour the last one in the brass! It's really made my my reloading procedure a lot faster and the biggest part of my time is now processing my brass!
