I am new to reloading (have loaded a grand total of 100 rounds of 45 acp so far), so forgive me if this is a stupid question.
I am loading a 238 bullet over 4.8 grains of Win 231 to an OAL of 1.265 inches.
I am using the Lee pro auto disk to charge the cases with powder, and lee dies to seat and crimp the bullets.
When I measure the amount of powder being put in a case, it is usually 4.8 +/- 0.1 grains, but occasionally is as low as 4.6 grains. Is this a problem? Will a .1 to .2 grain difference in powder make a significant difference in accuracy shooting a handgun at 25 yards?
Also, the overall length of 1.265 is +/- .003 inches. Sometimes its as little as 1.262, sometimes 1.268. Is this a problem?
