I still don't know why. I mean it would be nice if what you are wanting is fps info. But when you are loading for accuracy why? I am loading at lower than factory speeds and pressure because I load mostly cowboy loads by volume. But all I do is tweak my volume measures (that I make) until I have a group that touches. For Trail Boss this is easy. I start with a case cut even with the base of a seated bullet, and continue to trim until *poof* touching group. For other powders I fine the lee powder dipper guide, cut a case to match 5% under max load by volume of the powder dipper it recommends, then continue to trim down until *again poof* touching group. I do double check this custom made dipper to make sure it isn't under min load as I go, but once I am in the sweet spot I mark the dipper for the load (since it is made from a matching caliber case I don't have to worry about that part), attach a wire handle via solder, and I am done. If ever I pick up a dipper that I cannot tell what the load was for then it goes in the recycle bin and I start over for whatever powder I am working with.
Touching group means minute of critter, I am done. Maybe if I was working for some sort of long range target competition I would need a fancy electronic scale, trickler, measure, and chrono. But minute of critter works for me. Then again I always was an oddball.

"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
