Ok question 2:
I'm trying to throw 27.5 grains (the starting load for CFE223). The volume of that much powder should be 1.78 CCs according to my manual, but I need about 2.04 CCs (according to my lee powder measure) to get 27.5 grains. I have zeroed my scale several times and am getting the same result consistently. That much powder in a 223 case fills the case to the neck. I have an acquaintance in town who reloads, and at some point he said he'd bring his digital scale over to verify my load before I start putting it into cases.
can anyone suggest what might be going on? I'm fairly certain I'd be overcharging them, but it's the perfect amount according to my scale
