Dropping Ball Powder Charges without Weighing?

[General RE LEE]

I make a point of using ball powder in every cartridge shoot so I can so that I can set up a powder dropper on a turret or progressive press. This way, besides an occasional quality assurance check, I don’t have to mess with it again.

Staball 6.5 for 6.5 CM?

Staball 6.5 for 6.5 CM?

I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. I use Superformance when I load 6.5 CM for family since I’m sitting on a lot of it, but don’t shoot the cartridge myself.

It looks like a great powder, but was too fast for my 22 CM, so didn’t pick any up.

Picked up a used RCBS powder thrower and stand for $60 this morning after reading this thread (and a few others).

I don’t use a ton of ball powders, but for 223, I have about 10# of TAC ready to go. Sounds like this should speed up loading significantly.

This is the reason I’ve been looking at getting one, I don’t need to stare at the charge master lite loading 50 or more rounds of 223. It’s tedious.
