Hi Ya, My Lee scale pooped out on me; the plastic thingie was loose enough that it moved to 5.0 gn when I expected 4.2gn of N320 powder. It's my new load on the 147gn 9mm bullets I am loading. Now what to do with 50 rounds?
Will it blow up my barrel? I have a Ruger New Blackhawk I can run them thru, is that safer (more metal)?

Much obliged,

Max
