Finished my 1st load of reloading done.

[Low-Pressure]

I finished 75pcs of 223 reloads the other night, the powder weighing, charging and bullet seating took me at least 4-5 hours. I was using the Lee magnetic scale, which at first worked okay, after charging about 10 cases, I check to verify that the scale was still zero. I found out that its off so I ended up double checking all ten. This went on the whole 75 rounds till I gave up and went to bed. The next day I saw a RCBS Range Master 750 in the ads section and purchased it from a fellow Calgunner.

I loaded 3 different loads 25pcs each.
55gr. V-max
IMR4198
CCI 400
19grs min- 21.7 max is listed on my Lyman
I loaded: 25pcs 19gr
25pcs 19.5 gr
25pcs 20 gr

Now here's my dilemma, should I leave all 75 reloads alone and just shoot it in 2 weeks or should I take them all apart and start from the beginning using the newly acquired scale.
thanks

You said you checked and then double checked all 75 rds. So unless Your worried about something......Shoot em.

next time..

Next time you start a load don't make so many of each grain charge. 10 is good for me, until I get close to max, then usually 5-6. You'll find yourself just wasting ammo. Once you find the drops that group good then you can experiment a little to make them group better. And then reload all your loads from there.

do yourself a favor,

buy a RCBS Chargemaster, if your Bday is coming up, sign up for an account and you should be getting a email for birthday pricing.

punch in the charge you want, and it dispenses in about 10-20 seconds depending on the charge.

I got tired of the balance beam.

Don't second-guess yourself, man. All reloaders have that moment of hessitation when they pull the trigger on their first reloads. Maybe you'll even wince a little in preparation for a potential dissaster. However, very seldom do loaders blow themselves up. It's a relatively infrequent phenomenon... (emphasis on relatively infrequent )

Long story short: If I can do this for 18 years without blowing myself up, anyone can!!!

yup, I started with 10, then got carried away.

I second this. The two most time-consuming steps for me were trimming/chamfering/deburring (that's three in one I know lol) and weighing the powder charges. I at least took care of the latter with the Chargemaster combo. Literally cuts the time required for this step in half.

Just an FYI - If your scale moves or you change it's location, make sure you zero it again.

if you do not have $$ for the chargemaster, keep you eye out for a used RCBS 10-10 scale. It's one of the best beam scales. I have both the chargemaster and the 1010. When loading for my match 308 rounds, I dispense .2 blow the required load on the chargemaster and trickle on the beam.
