I use a simple Lee powder throw and a trickler on a scale that goes to .02 gr. The Lee, once I get it dialed, will throw consistently within .4 of target, then the trickler for the rest.
The Type S - Best to measure your brass case wall thickness at the neck, then do the math. My bushings are .286, .287, .288. I settled on .287 for .003 neck tension (Hornady Brass) for my ARs, and there is no bullet movement under free bolt travel. I could probably go with .001 for the Howa loading, but I worry about a dropped ammo box or rough handling causing movement.
