I am starting to reload my first batch of .38 nd have a question about the amount of powder I should be placing in each case. I am using Titegroup, and the reccomended charge is 3.6gr. I placed some powder into my powder measure and dropped my first charge into the scale to fine tune everything. What I thought was an acceptable amount of powder weighed out to over 6gr. I readjusted to drop less and was surprised to see just how small a 3.6gr charge is.
Is this correct? It seems like there would be alot of empty space between the powder and the bullet.
I placed a 158gr bullet on the scale to make sure I was measuring correctly and it came out very close.
Can anyone give me any guidance here?
