Two things...

1. I saw that it was .308 powder. The bullets are .308 bullets too. I asked the folks at the Sportco Warehouse in Fife, WA where I bought the stuff and they all told me .308 is 30-06 and not to worry. Figured they knew their **** so I listened. Like I'm doing here. I trust you guys know more though. Now I have a bottle of useless powder and presumably useless bullets. Yeehaw.

2. My scale is retarded. I'm using the scale that came with the Lee kit. I put powder in the spoon (46gr I thought) and measured. Scale would go up and show measurement. I'd take the spoon off and put it right back on. Totally different measurement. Tried a third time. Again totally different measurement. Did not change the powder in the spoon at all.

3. (bonus). The "Perfect" powder loader leaks out the left side when I turn the handle.

Feel like I bought a lemon...
