How consistent is a Dillon powder thrower?

Very Accurate. I am getting 0.1 gr varaiance in my throws and I am using Varget. I did polish the inside of the throw with a dremel tool and I do place a vibrator ( that is turned on) in the powder hopper with the powder. Sounds crazy but works like a champ. I am sub MOA all day with my 308 reloads done on my 650xl.

Ball powder is even more accurate than what's reported above.

Yes a female pleasuring device.  A new never used one.  The vibrations pack the powder in the bottom of the measure giving you a very constant throw. Sounds crazy but works.

How long do the batteries last? (how many rounds do you get)

Guys nothing special about it. Turn it on and put it in the hopper, then add powder.  I am on the first set of batteries still. I cant tell you how many rounds I have loaded with it. 1.5 - 2.0 K range maybe. Amazon.com sells them cheap. I tried it on a whim and now I cant think of reloading without it.  Didnt mean to hijack the thread, sorry.

I get almost no variance with TG (spherical) and about .5 with IMR4895 ( stick I believe) and I think I will pass on the vibrator...

It's an electric earwax picker.

Mine has been wonderfully consistent.  0.1gr using Green Dot... Much better results with ball / sphere powders.
