Noob here - how accurate is the load data for the dipper in a Lee Loader? I am loading 38 SPL and 357 MAG with Alliant American Select and the 38's I've shot from my GP100 have been very accurate with low recoil and show signs of a light load, using Lee's load data on the Loader's data card. I weighed the load of the .5cc dipper, and it came out at 4.1 gr.,just what is recommended by Alliant. So I picked up some 357 MAG shells and loaded 40 of them using Lee's .7 cc dipper before I looked at Alliant's data. Doing some math makes me think the .7 cc dipper will load my magnum cases with an additional .2 cc, or 5.74 gr., and Alliant says max load is 3.9 gr. with a 125 gr bullet. Is this a misprint from Alliant or what am I missing?
