The OP was using factory ammo not hand loads, pulling a bullet and weighing the factory charge won't tell him anything .
Cat

I disagree on not telling him anything Cat,even factory loads can be loaded hot to very hot,Id pull one just to be on the sfse side.My friend had some factory Hornady superformance SST loads in 270 cal way above manual specs.Had issues ejecting in his semi auto 🤷*♂️
Cat is 100% correct, pulling a bullet, and weighing the powder charge is meaningless unless you know exactly what powder is being used. And their is no way to determine exactly what powder is used, because the manufacturers won't tell you and many of the powders that they use are blends that we won't find data for.
