If you are making reloads, weighing each charge isn't necessary. If you are making hand crafted ammo, it is.

If you were loading up 500 rds for a prarie dog hunt, weighing might get tedious, but for your average big game hunting, how many rounds do you need?

Try this test. Make up 10 rds of your favorite "reload". Then make up 10 rounds where you deburr the flash hole, true the primer pocket, weigh the cases, bullets and the charge. Then go shooting. See if the difference is worth it to you. When I did this for my .218 Bee, the groups shrunk in half. How much was atrributed to weighing the charge? Don't know. But since I'm the jerk on the trigger I'll take all the help I can get.
