Thanks all.

A new question...I'm sitting down to load some cases and ran into a question I need help with. The only 297/250 load I've seen published for Unique powder calls for 1.9grains. I'm a relatively new reloader and I don't have a scale, instead I've been using Lee's powder scoops. The Lee guide calls show the smallest charge of Unique you can measure with the smallest of these scoops is 2.7grains.

My question is whether 2.7grains is safe. I have found a second hand reference to Colin Greenwood's book on rooks, which I don't have and is out of print, that says 3.0grains of Unique is OK.

Does anyone have Colin's book and can confirm 3.0 grains of Unique for a 250 rook using a 50gr jacketed 25 ACP bullet is OK?

Otherwise I'm thinking I either need to build my own measure to throw roughly 70% of the 0.3cc Lee scoop, or wait a month till we're back from traveling and I can get a scale.

Delayed gratification is no fun. Anyone have Colin's book?
