First question to all progressive loaders is how many squibs have you had. I’ve been loading handguns since about 1965. No squibs yet. Knock on wood.
I load with a co-ax press. I use a Harrell’s measure over a digital scale. I weigh each charge.
I do every step in batches. I have large coffee cans full of sized and belled brass. It’s ready to be primed.
Add a little powder and seat a bullet. Hasbeen
If I weighed each charge with handgun loads, I wouldn't be able to shoot half of the number of rounds I normally shoot. I can see that with absolute maximum charges, but with normal target and plinking loads, small variations aren't anything to be concerned about. Even competition loads for steel challenge, bowling pin shoots or IDPA don't require weighing each charge.
