So I have a couple pounds of Unique and I'm trying to load 9mm (115 grain). I use a Lee perfect powder measure and my books point to a starting load of 5.5 grains. I have two questions:
When I put 5.5 grains in the 9mm case it looks very near the top. Will seating a bullet into that compress this charge and make it dangerous?
Also, with the Lee powder measure I'm using it says to use the .61 disk to get 5.6 grains but it's throwing way under that (4.8). Does anyone have experience with getting this to work better? I also have the Lee charge bar but have not had good luck with that in the past.
I appreciate any help that you guys can offer.
