Proper way to measure 777 loose powder

[MtnMuley]

Nobody has mentioned measuring the powder on an electronic scale.   I want my charges as similar as possible, so I measure them on my electronic scale to the 1/10th of a grain.  Is this wrong??

I have always measured by volume and had great success.   My muzzleloader shoots so good, I would be scared to try anything else.   90 grains of loose 777 3fg for me.

My only issues are with operator error with peep sites vs the consistency in the weapon.  chronograph is relatively consistent.  and scoped for load development a few years ago and had very consistent shots.  I wouldn't deviate from measurement by volume

I also clean between every shot - like, really clean.

I have noticed that a clean bore will pile them into a tight cluster at 100 yards.   If I shoot a fouled bore, it will also shoot an equally tight cluster, but the point of impact will shift 3" or so.   

I decided that I like hunting with a clean bore so I stick with the cleaning routine between each shot.

when you guys say clean the bore are you taking out the breech plug and cleaning it or are you leaving the breech plug in and running the rod down the barrel with a wet patch?

I just wet patch the bore.  Then dry patch.

I've always done this.  I throw five or six loads with the volume measurer and take the average weight to use the digital scale.
