How often do you guys verify your powder charges on pistol? I check mine ever 5 cases. Is that to excessive? Sometimes it varies plus or minus. 1. Also how do you combat static electricity on your powder measure? I'm using the Lee auto drum on my turret press.

Rub a used dryer sheet inside the drum to cut down on static. I keep one in the drum when not in use.

For me it depends on the powder and the purpose. I usually load (bulk) with room for error top and bottom. I check every 10-15 but I always do a visual. For load development is every single one but that’s a given. For the most part the auto drum works well for me as long as I keep a rhythm

I am finally comfortable that I have trained myself to visually check each round as it comes by in the AP press. It has become a natural part of each pull of the handle. When I become totally comfortable with a how a powder measures in my Hornady measure, then I will load up to 20 at a time without checking. A new powder, until I am comfortable, I check every 5-10.

Oh, and on the static, I just got a hopper from Ward at Dram Worx and I am hoping that will reduce and maybe eliminate the static issue.

Post how it works out for you.

I know it is a week later, but I finally got a chance to try the Dram Worx hopper out. Used AA# 2 which is a very fine grain and would show static quickly and saw zero, I am impressed and it is nice to see the powder so clearly through the pyrex. I highly recommend this item!

Nice. Got a link to it by chance?
