My reloading area is in the basement. No vents, no open windows. The scale seems to jump about 1/8 of an inch above and below the line.

While it's been mentioned a couple times that the powder AA2520 is not meant for 30-06, what is the risk of using it with a 150 bullet and charging 44gr? My rifle is a Savage 30-06 110. Does this pose a major risk?

To answer others, I will buy a reloading manual as suggested. I have read the ABC book now cover to cover and a few more times in the actual reloading steps section.

Couple other questions. If I shake the "loaded" bullet should I be able to hear the powder sloshing back and forth? I assume so, but wanted to ask.

Should the bullet itself be super tight, or should I be able to easily twist it with my fingers?

Thanks for all the answers folks.
