In the real world no, if you pull the bullets from most factory rounds,you will see, if you weigh the charge, quite a marked difference from round to round,just as if you measure the aol, you will also see a marked difference, the bedding on your rifle will determine where in the powder spread you find best accuracy,rifles with good bedding will usually as a rule shoot better towards the top end of the powder charge,rifles with poorer bedding somewhere around the middle,case prep is a much more important factor, in creating accurate ammo,than worrying about the odd tenth of a grain of powder.

Yup I did if it was Introduction to Reloading with Hornady - nice advert for Hornady, Ziess and Blaser - observations of the rest from a serious reloader perspective:

 

It may not be neccesary to trim every time

No serious reloader using a Kenetic hammer would remove bullets (especially soft nose bullets) without foam in the hammer so as to prevent damage to the bullet.

Rather than a simple funnel to dispense powder into the case, far better to use a powder dropper to get the powder to settle in a more uniform manner.

The clip extolled the virtues of differing weights when in reality it is the weight and also the distance from the lands that is critical - it would be a lucky person that can get that right to the grouping shown in a few shots - but then, that is the beauty of an 8 minute clip that misses out on much to show perfection.

 

And Coldwell is correct with his statement.

The answers to that then are as follows, take care and be precise, or get something bigger,and a bit more forgiving eh.
