Hey whats going on everyone.
Ok before my question, let me just say that I am bran new to reloading so don't laugh horribly at me for making a rediculously simple mistake.
Also a couple of fact's so that everyone understands where I am at, so you all can give me good information in return.
I have the stage III Lee Progressive 1000 setup, it came with pretty much everything.
Anyways, stated in my Lee Modern Reloading book along with the instruction charts, I am suppose to [start] charging at 5.9 grains and [maximum] is 6.6 grains.
That is for my 40, and my 145 grain lead bullets. Starting at 5.9 grains is fine with me, no problem there, and do not wish or even care to go above or below for this is not my question.
It says in the book and manual (everywhere), to use the Auto Disk #.49 which is to equal 5.9 grains. However, when weighing the charges individualy about a million different times, I didn't see anything near it. Charges were all from 4.7 - 4.9 grains, so either I am missing something, or my bran new scale is broken. It is also a Lee, and I have zero-ed it out between weighing sessions, and I have tried walking around my house with a level making sure it was on a flat surface.
So other than that I don't know what I am suppose to do, I also meassured several other's on the Auto Disk, they were also incorrect. I just don't see what I am doing wrong. It says the #.49 from the Auto Disk is suppose to be 5.9 grains. I know the book isn't wrong, so what do I need to do everyone?
Any help would be great as soon as possible, I am actualy doing this as we speak so if anyone can IM me that would be even better, thanks guys..
