Actually I agree completely Skeet. As many of the folks who have read my reloading posts before know I primarily have used Trail Boss loaded by volume the last few years. In 38/357 (for example) I have been given bucketfuls of brass by friends and despite using brass that spans not only dozens of makers, but some of it is more than 50 years old as well, it all shoots the same POA. What I use as a measure for my powder is a case of the same caliber (38/357) trimmed down to hold X volume of powder (around 85% case capacity in 38/357 with trail boss) and solder a brass wire handle onto the side of it. If I have more than one "measure" built this way then I label them with permanent marker. If I cannot make out the label I toss it in the recycle bin and build a new one from scratch for whatever load I am working on.
In my experience using the same basic components for the "same" load by volume works well, and gives great loads. This is what the lee classic kits with the lee powder "dippers" have been doing for decades, and let us not forget some world records in shooting were held by these very types of loads for VERY long times.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
