Okay I did my first .223 reloads. A little harder than I anticipated--After about 50 cases, I broke the primer reamer inside of a case; thus, lodging the case in the die. Anyway, my question has to do with loads. I am using Nosler 55 grn bullets (orange tip) and H335 powder. According to Noslers reloading guide, 25 grains of 335 was the most accurate. There was also a load for 24 grains, so I went with 24 thinking if I made a small error it would still be within a correct load. Also, with this powder and case size--a double charge resulted in an overflow, making it obvious if I made a mistake--I did- twice. When I checked the Hodgson magizine the have a 55 grain bullet with H335 at 23 grains. Being new to reloading, it scares me to think of charging too much powder and hurting myself--So what I want to know is--Are there always going to be small differences from manufacture to manufacture of amounts of the same powder used? For example, Nisler says use 25 grains of powder, while Hodgson says 23 grains?
Thanks
Forgot to mention the feeling of joy as I held my first reload in my hand. The brass sparkled as the angels sang!
