I was gifted and 8 lb paper drum of green dot. I opened it and it looks to be in perfect condition. I wish to load 38special with my own 158 grain cast bullets. The only data i could find was in a lee reloading manual that gives a starting load of 3.2 grains and a not to exceed load of 3.7. Does that sound about right? I have a bunch to load and was wondering if I could use a lee dipper for this small amount? The most of my experience is with large rifle loads and i weigh each load, I would like to speed up the process with the 38s and weighing each one seems to be the answer to more productivity.
