I bought a square deal b that has the piece that allows the 550 powder measure to work on the Square deal. So I am assuming if the 650 powder measure is same as the 550 I will be good to go?

Thanks for all th great info. Load data came from the lyman 49th edition. Starting load of 17.7. I seated them at the second groove which was 1.66 but can go longer if the concensus is 1.7?

Just cast from my new lee mold and need advise.
COWW boolit GC
18 grains H-110
book says OAL of 1.7 but I've read a lot on this site of shorter lengths from 1.6 to 1.7.
Anything better that will drop .454 or so? It's just for plinking so it doesn't have to be heavy grain.

Just getting started but planning to add two more next month. I've got the disease.
