Thanks TISCHL3. I also have been checking the powder weights as I'm loading, every 5 charges. I'm nowhere near the max loads and don't own a chrono yet, it's enroute. If .1 is within the normal tolerances I'm happy for now. I've started looking for some different powders to try , once the American Select is gone.

Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for the info Guys. I've tried benoes idea, I actually as many as 30 cycles and the loads still vary 0.1 but never more. I haven't tried letting the powder settle for while.

I'm new to reloading and I bought a Dillon XL650, at the instance of my brother. I'm very happy with the press. I'm using American Select powder, of the choices I had available it was recommended as the best. It's a circular flake powder. The powder throws I'm getting vary by plus or minus 0.1. I've tried several different quantity settings with the same result. Is that normal/ acceptable, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
