Smoking357Interesting Observation About Accurate #2 and Lee Auto Disk
Whatever disk you're using correlates almost exactly to the powder charge you'll get. That is, use a .53 disk and get a 5.1 grain powder charge. Use the .82 disc and get a .81 powder charge.
P.S. The Lee loading table for the Auto Disk is a big fat lie. Use your scale.

Might be they made a typo when printing that up.
I sure wouldn't call it a lie.
That's precisely why most of us with years loading experience tell everyone to get at least three loading books and compare every load first. No two will agree. None are lies, each one use's their own testing equipment.
What's max in theirs, might not even pop in yours. Compare and start lite until you figure out what it's doing.

i concur. powder formulations change more often than some folks change underwear. this months lot of imr4350 might be different than next months. howsome ever some powders are very consistant from lot to lot. thats why we use powder scales.
you can always tell the meticulous reloaders. they still have all their fingers, both eyes and the skin surface of their faces look pretty good.
