The powder measure should've come with a volumetric comparison chart of powder density by manufacturer. I found mine to be very optimistic, and had to resort to weighing charges and changing disks to find the right one.

I'm currently using the disk/cavity #28 for 2.75grs Bullseye under a 148gr. HBWC. You would be very wise to measure your way to the propper disk for the powder/weight of charge you want to use. If you still have the chart, use it as a rough guess for a starting point.
