I'm totally new to reloading and am doing my first batch of .45 Long Colt now on a Lee Turret press with their auto disk feature.
I'm using Titegroup powder, a 250 lead flat point bullet with large CCI pistol primers. The auto disk calls for using the .46 cc setting on the Lee manual.
My question, as a real newbie to all this, is that the amount of Titegroup that is going into each case with the auto disk seems miniscule and just rattles around loose in the big case.
Am I doing something wrong? Will it fire with the powder filling such a small proportion of the casing? Or is there a filler of some kind that I an supposed to use to fill the rest of that big .45 Colt case with?
I wanted to check before I seat the first bullets or make a major mistake.
Thanks guys.
