This video from Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem addresses a crucial aspect of handloading: the difference between "weighing" and "throwing" powder charges. Ostrem explains that for non-precision ammunition, a calibrated powder measure (throwing) is sufficient, provided it's checked for accuracy periodically. However, for high-pressure loads, precision shooting like long-range target practice, or when absolute round-to-round consistency is paramount, meticulously weighing each individual powder charge is essential for safety and performance. The video highlights specific scenarios where each method is appropriate, using examples like practice .38 Special wadcutters versus maximum loads for .300 Rem Ultra Mag.
