I used a Lee Loader (hand load) and loaded my first rounds. Hornady 165 gr. H4350. I used the Lee specs. I noticed the dipper got me from 52-54 grains. My biggest concern was the COL. I was getting within 100ths accurate, but I'm uncertain how much variance you can have.

Any thoughts?

Also, I am confused on how to find the true COL for my gun. I've read of some techniques using a dowel, but they're not too clear. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
