Powder Weight Question

[Anelson]

Ive looked around and have ordered a couple of new manuals but they are not here yet and i started to load some rounds tonight. Can some of you guys check your books and see what charge weight for bullseye with a 180gr fmj .40cal. Mine says 5.0 to 5.5 but for some bass akwards reason my lee pro disk will only throw 4.9grns tonight????? Is it ok to load a that weight?

Thanks in advance to anyone that could help

The answer is to load some and function test them in your gun.
For my .40 cal. Glock, using Titegroup (very similar to Bullseye), I did a number of function tests to find the minimum charge that will reliably function in my guns. For my Glock .40, that turned out to be 3.7 grains with 180 gr. Zero bullets.

I suspect your gun will run just fine at 4.9 gr. Bullseye behind 180 gr. bullets and, perhaps, quite a bit less!

Ok thanks for the help I'll just have to give it a shot.

Not an answer to your question, but years ago I bought Lee's adjustable charge bar for my Lee measure. It gives infinite adjustment within its range. I never liked the discs.

I had the same train of thought lol. I just got on midway to order it and there out of stock just goes to figure.
