Ok, sorry if this question seems stupid, but I'm just starting out reloading and want to be safe. I'm using a Lee turrent press with an auto powder feeder. I want to reload 38 special with 125 grain semi jacketed hollow point. Im using (or want to use) SR 4756 powder. Most of the loading charts I've seen call for a charge of 4.8 grains of this powder. When I charged the casing it looked like a lot of empty space in the casing. Even if the bullet were seated it would be a lot of empty space at that charge. I emptied the casing onto my scale and got 4.8 grains. Is this normal? should there be empty space in the casing? Does not seem right to me, but then again I'm just starting with zero experience.
Thanks for any feed back.
