    I need to get some calibration weights as I have never done this. I will also clean the pivot points.

    I've seen the same results with charges weighed on an electronic scale but in 0.5g increments. I don't let it worry me.

    My standard development process is one cartridge at each powder charge with 0.5g increments for rifle loads. I record the velocity and POI for each shot and look for a string that provides relatively consistent velocity increases and close to the same POI. When I find such a string I build more using a powder charge in the middle of the string and check them for velocity and accuracy. More often than not, I'm done.
