I might be pushing 20k rounds of ammo now with my Lee turret setup.
The powder measure works fine for all regular pistol and rifle rounds.
If you're making super accurate rifle rounds you will want a powder trickler.
The difference between 25.9 grains of RL-15 and 26.2 grains can be seen on a target at 100 yards.
It's just maybe 3/8 of an inch, but you can see it.
I have noticed a very small difference in the powder density of the same powders, having used the same powder for years.
It'll throw 2.8 to 3.1 grains when I'm making 9's for example, but only if I get into another new pound.
2.8 to 3.1 works well in every 9mm handgun or rifle I own. I've never had a problem because of that small of a difference.
The difference is even smaller than that when working off the same pound.
Tap the hopper a few times to pack the powder a tad which is what happens while you're making them.
Dump powder 2 or 3 times back in to the hopper.
Weight the 4th and if it's within tolerance for your needs, run them.
They'll all be fine, I promise you.
Oh and like someone else said, write the settings down, so you won't have to figure them out ever again for that powder.
