I loaded a bunch of mid-range handgun loads. Half of them I loaded using a powder dipper and half I loaded weighing each charge and keeping them as close to the same as I could.
I was as careful as I could to dip each powder charge the same way... just as I was careful to weigh each charge as close as possible.
Then I went and shot groups at 25 yards.
Averaging all the groups, the loads that I dipped the powder charges, I shot more accurately than the ones I weighed.
What did it prove? Probably not much of anything. But I got a lot of shooting done!

Have you tried recalibrating the electronic scale? (nm)
