I completed my first reload ever last week and have some issues (maybe)...(possibly)...(I think so). I loaded 50 rounds of 40 cal for my Glock 23 and things just don't seem right. My am using a Lee single stage press, RCBS powder uniflow measure. Using a Frankford Arsenal DS-750 scale. Tight group at 4.3 grains and Berrys 180g roundnose bullet.
The scale varies anywhere from 3.8g to 4.7g of the Titegroup in the supplied pan. I believe the RCBS is dropping powder within .3g variation. Maybe the scale isn't as good as the reviews claim. What is a good scale about $100?
Lee manual said to keep the min OAL to 1.125 but I can't find info on max length. The diagram of the 40 round shows 1.135 but what does that mean? My max length is 1.145. Quite a few didn't fit into the Wilson guage but went into my Glock barrel ok. Another thing, I measured finished cartridges and found variances of over 7 grains! I visually checked each brass case for like powder levels and all seemed ok.
I have tied hundreds of fly fishing flies but if they aren't perfect, I don't worry about blowing my hand off. I think I'll shoot left handed tomorrow at Hillside.
Any ideas??
