The most accurate way of measuring your powder charges
![Adjustable measure: quick and handy way of measuring the powder charges. A fine range companion, but can be inaccurate because of the rough scale of the piston.](https://shop.davide-pedersoli.com/themes/pedersoli/assets/img/img_blog_old/2015/07/measure-powderIMG_0050-1024x682.jpg)
![A powder flask: you must have a few of them for sure, but the volume of the measured charge can change depending on how much powder you have in the flask and hard you push your finger on the spout.](https://shop.davide-pedersoli.com/themes/pedersoli/assets/img/img_blog_old/2015/07/measure-powderIMG_0045-1024x682.jpg)
![A bench mounted volumetric measure: quick and easy way, but the volume and weight of charge is depending on how much powder you have in the reservoir. Also note that many makers do not recommend using their measure with blackpowder.](https://shop.davide-pedersoli.com/themes/pedersoli/assets/img/img_blog_old/2015/07/measure-powderIMG_0041-682x1024.jpg)
![An old powder laddle: good and fast way to fill the vials, but be careful how many times you tap the measure.](https://shop.davide-pedersoli.com/themes/pedersoli/assets/img/img_blog_old/2015/07/measure-powderIMG_0038-1024x682.jpg)
![First step: measure by volume.](https://shop.davide-pedersoli.com/themes/pedersoli/assets/img/img_blog_old/2015/07/measure-powderIMG_0044-1024x682.jpg)
![Second step: check the weight on a scale](https://shop.davide-pedersoli.com/themes/pedersoli/assets/img/img_blog_old/2015/07/measure-powderIMG_0046-1024x682.jpg)
