I decided to try it because I'd used #9 before, and it meters beautifully, as you say. Very happy with it so far.<br /><br />Anon, on performance in the loads I can't complain about the Hodgedon Clays; clean and consistent, but it's a pain to get through a measure consistently at times. Using a single-stage, where I could charge a batch and then look at them to compare, no problem; pull any that don't look right and weigh them. And I weigh about every 10th charge, too.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-60573559652637968212009-05-25T21:30:31.368-07:002009-05-25T21:30:31.368-07:00Accurate No. 5, is that for .45 auto?

Usually meters dead-nuts-on, with not even a tenth of a grain of variance.the pistolerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921719381072311001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-85824234161785312532009-05-25T20:47:44.782-07:002009-05-25T20:47:44.782-07:00Thanks for the heads up on the "Clays".

It does seem to work okay in a single-stage press?<br /><br />I scored a 4# keg of Blue Dot so maybe I'll try that on the 550.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-73500866904647933702009-05-25T19:50:28.863-07:002009-05-25T19:50:28.863-07:00Now why did you have to go and mention clowns?
