I am shooting a .270 wincester, using a 140 grain jacketed bullet with a minimum powder charge of 50.7 grains. I could not even shoot a 4 inch pattern at 100 yards out of a gun vise. I started thinking that my powder dispenser might not be throwing consistent charges, so I check 10 loads, weighing each one of them with my power dispenser set to throw 50.7 grains and this is how they weighed out in my powder scale as followed:
01. 51.5
02. 51.7
03. 51.0
04. 50.0
05. 51.5
06. 50.7
07. 50.6
08. 50.5
09. 50.9
10. 49.8
I seriously think I need to start weighing every charge to get accurate results, but I thought I would get some thoughts from you folks as to weighing each load or if there was something else I could try? In desperate need to shoot atleast 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards.
