Shotshell reloading and more?
I have my lee load all 2 setup and I have some ADI as30n powder. Problem is that I dont know about the powder charge bushings. I went to the ADI website and looked at the shotgun powder bushing charts and they show an average of grains of the powder to the bushing. Now the .141 bushing supposed to give me 16 grains of powder. I dont have a powder scale but I did use this grains to grams converter http://www.unitconversion.org/weight/grams-to-grains-conversion.html 16 grains = 1.03678256 grams.
I do have a digital scale that weighs grams oz dwt and ozt (which idk what ozt means)
I put the .141 bushing in filled the powder into a shell (prescaled the shell so it was zeroed) and it weighed 1 gram. I did it a few more and the results were pretty close. Would it be safe to say that the .141 = 16 grains aprox and just for safety use a slightly smaller bushing for a desired grains for a load? Im new to this too and I dont feel like getting blown up and I cant afford powder scales at this time. The shot size bushings for the bbs are correct too. I only want to shoot 1oz or less. 12ga 2 3/4 I hope I made it fairly clear and someone who does reload shotshells and know what they are talking about can help. Thanks.
I just measured a 40 grain 22.r bullet and it weighed 2.6 grams and then used that converter and put 2.6grams and it came up with 40.124131718 grains
and some other comparasons and it all adds up just fine. Seems correct to me.
