Greetings,
I've been reloading with a friend who has been teaching me on his equipment. I've done about 200 rounds of .45 ACP with 230 gr. LRN on top of 5.0 grains of Hodgdon Titegroup & Winchester Large Pistol Primers.
After finishing one of the 50 round sets (I've set it aside for safekeeping), I realized that I forgot to visually inspect the cases after filling with powder to make sure I didn't have any double charges:shock:.
Anyways, here's my question - am I safe in weighing a few rounds from another group to get a "control" weight, and then weigh each of the 50 rounds to make sure none are 5 grains heavier than the control round (which would have been an extra 5 gr. powder a "double charge"), or should I pull all of them and start over? I really don't want to pull all of them, but want to be safe at the same time.
The reloading was done on a Lyman T-Mag II, with a Lyman 55 powder measure, using a Lyman balance scale to check the charges, with Lee carbide dies.
Thanks in advance for your advice
