What's your zero returning to Eric?

Do you have a baffle in your powder measure. I do mine changes a little as I run the measure down

The pan weighs 142.276 I zero the scales with the pan on so when I take it off it's negative 142.27something

No I don't.

Ahh, I should have known that. Mine weighs 97.0 and the same negative value when I take it off.

No I don't.

What I don't understand is why it done it all at once. Usually my the charges earlier in my session will be a bit heavier than those later since there's less weight to pack it in the measuring part

Last year I dumped all my 100 yard ammo straight in and didn't weigh any of it. I kept the powder at least 2 inches deep from the bottom and about an inch down from the top. I would add powder to the dump about ever 20 rounds.
