I have weighed some in the past and you are correct . But it’s not just the Rube Goldberg MEC’s I saw the same thing with PW bushings in the 800C’s I used when I first started loading . But the bottom line is “usually” that small amount by charge isn’t going to make a difference . Now with that being said there’s nothing wrong with drop weigh drop weigh drop weigh I just don’t care to do that anymore . As I said before I still weigh rifle charges but generally I’ll never load more than twenty of a specific load at a sitting . Years past I went so far as weighing new empty rifle cases and segregate them by every five grains but that was far so called bench rifles . But to each his own , my intrest in getting to in depth anymore is leaving me from what it once was .
