[QUOTE="rsmith0399, post: 1487487, member: 12982"] I just got all set up to reload .223 . I have loaded pistol before, but never rifle. I purchased a Harrell's Schuetzen powder measure to use in the future for loading pistol. But I thought I would give it a try for the .223. I am using H335, which I have never used. I am loading a 55gr FMTBT. I loaded about 50 rounds and varried the load from 23.5 to 24.8 grains. This filled the case to within about 3/8 inch from the top. Plenty of room for the bullet, but I have never filled a case that full before. I am using an RCBS 10-10 powder scale. I am concerned about the case being that full and about the Harrell's powder measure throwing 23-24 grains. The specs on the powder measure says it will throw between .2 and 25 grains. I only had it opened up about half way to throw 24.8 grains. Seems like every powder being made different would mean you would have to specify the powder to say it will only throw 25 grains. Should the case be that full of H335? Am I correct about the powder determining the amount a measure will throw? [/QUOTE]
