Ouch...that thing kicks
So, I finally made my way into 20th century technology and bought myself an RCBS Chargemaster Lite to weigh out my charges, hoping to retire my old RCBS 505 beam balance scale. When I got the Chargemaster Lite, I put it through it's paces with some Varget and RL-15 to see how accurate it was vs. the 505 beam balance, and was a bit dissapointed to see it's accuracy waiver a bit more than the +/- .1g advertised.
I called RCBS and they had me wipe the thing down with a dryer sheet to remove any static charges that might be coming into play. I guess it helped a little and I may be within that advertised +/- .1g accuracy now, but it got me to thinking, how much difference does .1g make? For instance, with my .25-06 varmint load (a 90 grain blitzking over 54 grains of IMR 4831 w/avg. velocity of 3,320 fps) how much of difference is +/- .1g really gonna make? I'm thinking/hoping it's in the single digits, and in the grand scheme of things negligable compared to the 60-80 fps ES's that I'm trying to address by other means. Thoughts?
