Closest to me is a good 100 miles one way, and I've never been in it.

After your last post, I did some checking. I did not have a #22 bushing in the charge bar. I had a #24 bushing in the charge bar.
Apparently I had done some charge weighing in the past but don't remember doing so. (Memory ain't what it used to be)
My load data for Winchester AA shells calls for 15.0 gr. of Unique for 1155 fps
My load data for Remington STS shells calls for 15.5 gr. of Unique for 1155 fps
My MEC table shows a #24 bushing dispensing 16.4 grains of Unique.
I weighed 10 charges of Unique with the #24 bushing - Here are the drop weights that I got. I was pleasantly surprised in how well the drops repeated.
14.9, 15.0, 14.9, 14.8, 15.0, 15.1, 14.7, 14.8, 15.0, 14.9
I am using a $40+ Franford Arsenal digital scale.
Now when I get time, I need to check my 12 gauge loader to see if I actually have a #31 bushing in it.
