Hi guys,
Just starting to get back into reloading and im having an issue. It may be very very basic but im bewildered. Im loading 38 special with a 158 gr. Lead bullet. 4.0 grains of unique. I got my load data from "Modern Reloading 2nd edition" minimum load is 4.0 and max is 4.3.

My issue is that im constantly getting 3.3 grains while using the .43 auto disk. This has been verfied on a lee beam scale and a hornady lnl scale.

Again, its been years ao it could be something very basic in an adjustment. Here are picturea of my press. Thanks ahead of time.
