As long as you have a way of accurately and consistently measuring a charge, I don't think it matters how you do it.

My charges are dropped by volume though the auto disk on my Lee Pro 1000. But I'm glad I used a scale because the charge disk that was supposed to drop 4.0 only dropped 3.8 grains of Bullseye. I had to step up to the next size up to get it to drop 4.0. Without the scale I would not have known that the volumetric measure was off.
