On my bench/long range loads, I individually weigh each charge. Using ball or extruded powder has no advantage on weight consistency because that. Some of the newer powder measure have a trickle feed, (Lyman, RCBS) and dispenses powder based on weight rather than volume.

And Yes, Great discussion. When I benched rest shot, I would also measure case volume, and group cases. Weight Bullets etc..... Now I tend to like shooting buffalo size clangers at 1000 yards with a 45/70 black powder cartridges with open sites. It is more laid back. I think to be a great bench shooter it takes a person with a personality that can endure highly methodical, extremely slow precision tasks.
