    My Lee one is pretty good also, but I drop the load just short then trickle up to weight on the scales. But 9 times out of ten it is on the mark, sometimes shoots over. Which is a real PIA
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone

    This is what I'm doing too.

    Doesn't the size and shape of the powder effect the accuracy more than the quality of the thrower? The Lee works well with ball powder and small extruded powders, but not so well with the disk powder.

    Yes the flake type powders well not flow through a thrower. Well hasn't for me at least.

    As long as you put heaps of powder through to get rid of sticking with static. And be consistent with the operation

    I even have marks on the tube and keep the powder between these marks, that's the pocket that is most consistent for me
