Got a bit of a puzzler. I got a Lee Hand Press and the .32 H&R dies. I know it just comes with one scoop, so I figured I'd just buy whatever powder it suggested for basic loads and just follow that. Not planning on doing any real tweaking, just want to learn basic reloading and do some plinking.
However, I open up the enclosed load sheet and the lightest data is for 85gr jacketed bullets, and the lightest lead bullet info is 90gr. What I have on-hand is a bunch of 78gr lead.
So, given that I don't have any data for 78gr lead, and I just have one .3cc scoop to use, how should I go about figuring out a load?
I'm reluctant to go buy some huge manual and a bunch of scoops (or scale) when I'm trying to do this minimalist, making just one type of cartridge, in one plinking loading, for one gun.
Is there any way to figure this out safely, or do I pretty much have to buy a manual and scale if I don't have bullets precisely matching the little loading sheet?
If I follow the load data for the 85gr jacketed round, say "3.1gr of Bullseye = 1 .3cc scoop", is it just going to push the 78gr lead slightly faster than it'd push the 85, or is the gun suddenly going to blow up?
