Use a 5-0-5 here also....for any very short cut extruded or ball powders I'll set my Uniflow with the 5-0-5 and just drop charges. Also have a Lyman 1200DPS that I'll use for charging larger rifle cases with stick powder that does not meter will through the Uniflow.

At some point in the near future, I will be bringing a pistol to a rifle fight. (Just a metaphor) So yes, Rod doin a little benchrest.

My bud, is an f-class rifle shooter, his electronic scale will react and notice the difference in two different size kernels.

What I use is a RCBS 505 to get my stsarting load, then I use a Harrell powder measure http://www.harrellsprec.com/ and just click up to my load of choice, write the # down and it will come right back to it. When I was shooting 600 and 1000 yd benchrest I weighted my record round loads, but I drop everything now. I load at the range works great.
