Check weight is essential. Also be sure your scales are level. It does make a difference. I have two electronic scales and when checking large numbers of charges that helps. But I check them with a 1010 balance beam scales, just to make sure I am getting accurate information. It is hard to have three different systems give you the same wrong information.
I ended up with 35 shot bushings in total. I was able to get almost to the grain drops with four different sizes shot just by going up or down a bushing.
Hornady/Spolar does make powder bushing in almost every size I need. Often they make them in .003 size increments. But shot bushings are much less an fine point with them. It was bad when I figured out my .410 loads were 35 pellets light out of a total of 292. Instead of a 1/2 ounce load I was getting a drop for 7/16 ounce loads. Plus the shells did not crimp well with the center often dished in. A nice .410 crimp is a thing of beauty while I was getting a sad sack of loads which would let shot dribble out in some of them.
I am not normally this anal but I have finished every honey do list my wife had. I ran 95 feet of new fence post and fence across the rear of my yard, I have cleaned out and reorganized my garage, my shop, my loading room, my gun room and changed the oil fluids and filters my tractor along with getting it ready to plant feed plots for Dove. And this is going time off is going to last another month. I think I am going to get my duplicator going and cut a few semi inlet stocks for a couple guns. That might keep me busy for a few days. Shelter in place sucks when you like to stay busy. Hope everyone stay safe until this mess all blows over.
