During the life of the magazine, Precision Shooting, I was a subscriber. Among mostly benchrest shooters, that argument existed. Almost without exception the perennial winners always dumped powder by volume out of a measure, mainly for speed and ease of loading between rounds. I bought a Harrell's measure, which I still have. I shot many hundreds of rounds both ways and never really saw any real difference. I ultimately went to weighing each charge in preference, mainly to eliminate any question in my mind when one didn't go where it was supposed to.
