Military Sniper/Marksmen; Do they drop or weigh charges?

[eddiesindian]

And in the field like in Afghanistan snipers use issued ammunition.

Cartridge, Caliber 7.62mm Special Ball, Long Range, MK 316 MOD 0 (United States): A 175-grain round specifically designed for long-range sniping consisting of Sierra MatchKing Hollow Point Boat Tail projectiles, Federal Cartridge Company match cartridge cases and Gold Medal Match primers. The Propellant has been verified as IMR 4064 (per NSN 1305-01-567-6944 and Federal Cartridge Company Contract/Order Number N0016408DJN28 and has a charge weight per the specs of 41.7.

The above ammunition is made by Federal for a military contract for sniping ammunition.

Great info. I knew they used 4064 but wasnt aware of the exact weight. I've been using 41.5gr of 4064 and 175SMK along with federal 210M for years. It never stops amazing me as to the consistency of that combo.
