I wanna say I do not weigh every charge for hunting loads, but that's not quite 100% true.
For the vast majority of hunting loads for my rifles, I do NOT weigh every charge. When I have the powder measure set correctly, and throwing consistent charges, I then load my cartridges, check weighing every 5th or 10th charge.
I should say I try to avoid the long grain stick powders, and I prefer ball powder when I can find an appropriate one.
When I do use a long grain stick powder that tends to hang up or bridge in the powder measure, I weigh every charge.
With the new short cut powders out now, I don't have to do as much weighing as I used to.
