Okay, so excited, got my Lee bushings in the mail today, was missing from my 50th anniversary kit that I bought used..
$5 for two on eBay, what a steal!
Anyway, went through, popped out primers, put in new with the fancy plastic thing the kit comes with (Actually works suprisingly well for how cheap it looks)
Now, powder time, I only did 10 rounds, just a test run to see how they would turn out.
I'm using;
Hornaday 174gr jacketed booolits
IMR 4064 smokeless.
Now, I break out my Lee scale, the red one, zero it out, wait a few minutes, re zero it, then I get the Lee dipper that came with my dies, and this is where my question begins:
When I read the Lee instructions, it says for 4064, use a 2.5cc dipper, or 36 grains of powder.
When I use the Lee dipper, and pour it into the scale, I get 36 grains.
So, Using that logic, I made 10 rounds with the Lee dipper.
Did I make a mistake?
