My notes have a COL of 2.200" and starting load of 26.0gr for that bullet and powder combo. Max charge is listed at 27.8gr.
Why weigh every charge? If I had a powder measure that threw such inconsistent charges that I had to weigh every one, I'd get another one.
And I seem to remember someone just starting out and learning to load 38 special!![]()
That started loading .38 Special, except he was using LEE SCOOPS AND HAND LOADER TOOLS!!!![]()
Can you believe it.?![]()
Not quite! I was using Red Dot because that was all I could find during the drought, and it didn’t meter well, so I got into the neighbored and then used a trickler to get to my target load.
Lots of guys told me I’d bail on single stage, but I’m happy loading small amounts frequently to build up a stash. 50 rounds In a session. Drop powder, weigh, seat bullet. When 50 done I crimp them all at once.
