People burn down their HOMES deep frying turkeys on Thanksgiving.
;D I'm just saying, sometimes you have to think for others before you give out a great idea. And the idea is GREAT. You have thought something through that has either been overlooked or just not shared yet. In the benchrest and shooting world, "we" are analyzers by nature I think. Always thinking and analyzing this and that, why this and why that, and wouldn't this work better, etc......
I believe the resistance you are going to get from benchresters that are "seasoned" is that if 1/10th of a grain of powder variance doesn't affect their groups at 1000yds, then that sort of precision is a waste of time to them. It is a great idea, with great insight though and I'm sure I'll find myself trying it out and trying to improve upon your idea. I like the water idea, it does make sense that the mored dense medium will give more of a precise measurement with the tolerances that common reloading scales cans measure....
I also like the ball powder idea but see more room for error with that.
AGAIN, Just another opinion, just happens to be mine ;D
